Medication
Quite often students are required to take medication throughout the day. These medications must be left at the school office. The office staff will supervise the administration of medicines. Medicines will need to be clearly labelled, in student Webster packs, with the prescription label clearly identifying the student, the time to be taken and the dosage of the medicine.
Short term medication e.g. Antibiotics must be labelled by the pharmacy with student name, dosage, time and parent and carers must complete forms before medication is administered to student.
Non-prescription Medication
We are not authorised to administer non-prescription medication (such as Panadol) without parental permission. These processes reflect DoE policy relating to the provision of medication in schools. Please speak to our office staff if needed.
