Administration of medication

When a medical practitioner has prescribed medication for a child to be taken during school hours, parents and carers must:

  •  Notify the school;
  • Supply the medication;
  • Complete a written request, available through our school office; and
  • Provide a letter from a medical practitioner stating the type of medication, dosage and when the medication is to be administered.

These are mandatory requirements for schools to administer both prescribed and over-the-counter medication.

Please contact our office with further queries.

 

Kind regards,

Michelle Barnes

Principal
