Medications at School

If your child requires medication at school, a note identifying the child, class, medication name, dosage, and time to be given needs to be sent to the office. 

The medication should be in the original container/box and should also have a chemist label on it.  All medication is dispensed through the office and is signed off on a medication register.

If the appropriate permission is not sent with the medication, it cannot be given to the student.  It is also a good idea to mention to the student’s teacher that there is medication at the Office and what time it is to be given.
