Administration of Medicines
Medicines should normally be administered at home and only taken into school when absolutely necessary (where it would be detrimental to the child's health, or would greatly impact on a child's school attendance if the medicine were not taken during the school day). In these circumstances, the school may be able to administer medication during the school day if:
- the medicines have been prescribed by a medical practitioner
- the medicines need to be administered in excess of 3 times per day
- the medicines are in date and in their original container, as dispensed by a pharmacist
- the medicines have a pharmacy label identifying the child by name and with original instructions for administration, dosage and storage
Please read and complete the Administration of Medicines Agreement for medication to be administered to your child during the school day.
Medical Conditions and Allergies
If your child has a medical condition, such as asthma or an allergy, please make sure that you let us know. We can support children with their medical needs by sharing information. You can find the forms here:
