Student Medical Information
It is essential for your child’s protection and ours, that we are fully aware of necessary treatment and medication requirements. Please ensure that all medical information is current and up to date on admission cards. Where medical conditions or allergic reactions exist, we ask that parents complete Health Care forms available on our website under ‘FORMS’ or from the school office as soon as possible.
Parents have a responsibility to inform school staff if:
- A student is carrying medication to school, what form the medication takes e.g. Tablet, mixture, inhaler, and for what reason.
- Any student who has a medical condition which may require staff to take emergency action.
- Any medication which may require school staff assistance.
- There is a need for safe storage. Is the student carrying medication which may be a danger to other students?
All medication brought to school must be clearly labelled with the student’s name, drug’s name and strength. Where prescribed medication is necessary, instructions from prescribing doctor are required. If the student has medication to be administered at school, parents must contact an administrator accordingly and complete relevant documentation.
School Nurse
A trained nursing sister visits the school periodically to carry out screening of Kindergarten and Pre-primary students, routine medical checks of referred students.
