Persons on staff
(authorised by the Principal) may be responsible for administering medication. Medication
will be administered by staff, provided it is strictly in accordance with
instructions from the student’s doctor, and is requested by the parents on the
appropriate medication form which is available from the school office. We are unable to administer any form of medication, including over the counter medications, unless it is in the original container with the dosage stated by a medical practitioner.
Medication is kept in a safe place in the administration building. Medication and written dosage instructions must be handed in to the office. A record will be kept of all occasions when medication is administered by the school.
Asthma medication and therapy requires a medication form and Asthma Action Plan.
