College medication procedure​

If a parent requests the College Nurse administer medication to their child, they must complete a Medication Request Form, this is available from the Health Centre. The medication must be in its original container or packaging and clearly labelled with the following:   

• Child’s name
• Name of medication
• Expiry date
• Dose and time to be given
• If a student is required to carry and self-administer medication while at school, only a single measured dose for one school day can brought onto the College premises. Medication must be locked in that student’s locker.
• Students with diagnosed asthma must carry their reliever medication with them at all times.
• Students with diagnosed anaphylaxis are advised to have their Epipen (adrenaline autoinjector) with them at all times if age appropriate.
• Students with diagnosed Type 1 diabetes must carry their “hypo Kit”at all times.
