If your child requires staff to administer medication at school, we would just like to remind you of the requirements
associated with the administration of medications at school.

Please note, school staff will only administer medication that:

     • has been prescribed by a qualified health practitioner (e.g. doctor, dentist)

     • is in its original (most recent) container
     • has an attached pharmacy label
     • the pharmacy label instructions match the Medical form.
     • the parent/carer has completed Section 1 of the Administration of Medication at School Record Sheet
       (routine/short-term medication) – copies of these forms are in our office. Please see our friendly office staff.
     • the student has received a dose at home without ill effect prior to the school administering the medication.

N.B. If your child requires more than one medication, you will need to complete a form for each medication.

Please contact the school office if you wish to discuss your child’s requirements further.
