You have indicated that your child has a health condition which may require support at school or when involved in school activities, for example, a school excursion. While the main role of the school is to provide education, we want to work with you to keep your child healthy and safe at school.

Please complete the below form Request for support at school of a student’s health condition, on the basis of information provided by your medical practitioner. (You may wish to discuss the information required with the medical practitioner.) The form includes sections where you can request the administration of prescribed medication and/or other assistance.

Please provide the following to the school

A letter from your doctor stating the medication requirements;
Each time medication or dosages are changed, a letter from the doctor is needed before the school can implement the change.
Medication must be in a pharmacy dispensed Webster Pack detailing the student’s name and the prescribed dosage. Up to 28 days, 5 school weeks, can be supplied in the same pack.
We will send you a text when less than 3 days tablets are left to enable you to get more medication to school before we run out.

When the school receives your request for support we will need to discuss it with relevant staff and we will then contact you again.

Please advise the office at any time if there are changes in the information about your child’s health care needs or changes in their medication type, dose, frequency or if we can assist you.
