DOES YOUR CHILD HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION OR REQUIRE MEDICATION AT SCHOOL?

New rules have been put in place around medication at school.  The school is no longer allowed to accept parent verbal permission for medication, for example:  Panadol, antihistamine.

Any students identified with a medical condition for example Asthma, Diabetes, Epilepsy, Anaphylaxis or allergies needs to have an updated/current Medical Action Plan for 2021 signed by their GP.

Medical Action Plans and Authorisation for Administration of Student Medication Forms that are not current for 2021 will not be accepted.

MEDICATION
Medication supplied to the school must be in date and in original containers or Webster-pak prepared by a pharmacist.

Prescription
If your child requires prescription medication to be kept at school, the Education Department requires an updated Authorisation for Administration of Student Medication signed by your child's doctor or pharmacist by the commencement of school, 3rd February 2021. 

Non prescription
For over the counter medication for students, for example: Panadol, antihistamine etc parents are required to complete an updated non prescription authorisation form. (we are no longer allowed to accept parent veral permission for panadol etc)

We appreciate your assistance with this to ensure your child’s safety while at school. School excursions and camps for students without the necessary documentation for their safety is at the discretion of the Principal.
