Medication Administration at School
A reminder about Medication Administration at school
It is school policy that no medication be administered without formal parental consent. Parents/caregivers need to complete a medicine authority form.
Parents are asked to administer medication outside of school hours where possible.
Please do not send your child to school with medication without an authority form or get them to keep it in their school bag.
Paracetamol may be given on occasion with verbal consent and instruction on the appropriate dosage from a parent.
We observe the following guidelines when administering medicines
- Medication must be supplied in its original container/packaging labelled with the name of the student, and dose required. Any variation in dose must be notified in writing.
- Medication must be delivered to school by parents/caregivers, not by students.
