ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATION

Administration of Medication Form

If a student requires medication while at school, please note that the medication must be:

• prescribed by a doctor and have appropriate written instructions. Administration of Medication forms can be obtained from the Front Office or downloaded here.
• provided by the parent/caregiver in the original container clearly labelled with the child's name and delivered to the Front Office, with the Administration of Medication form.

Most medications are stored in the Front Office, but some older children do carry their puffers in their school bags. In these cases, an Asthma medication and Health Care Plan needs to be signed stating the child can self-administer (paper work will be kept in the office). If this is obtained, we ask that you discuss with your children issues around the medication. For example, not sharing puffers, informing their teacher when they have used it, dangers of over usage, and safe storage.
​

It is not appropriate for any child to have any other medication in their school bags or tray eg Panadol, vitamins, cough mixture etc.  Even over the counter medications need the paper work completed and be managed by the classroom teacher or the Front Office.

If you require any further information, or your child has complex medical needs, please contact the Front Office for further information or advice.
