College Medication Procedure

Where possible, student medication should be administered by parents outside of school hours. 

It is requested that all prescribed medication required during the school day for your child be administered through the Health Centre.

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

•  Child’s name
• Name of medication             
• Expiry date
• Dose and time to be administered

If a parent provides their child with prescribed medication to self-administer during the school day, the parent must provide only a single measured dose for one school day to their child. Medication must be locked in the student’s locker.

Students with diagnosed asthma are requested to carry their reliever medication with them at all times. Students must have their asthma medication with them during off-site and out-of-school activities, e.g., sports, excursions, camps, etc.

Students with diagnosed anaphylaxis are requested to carry their EpiPen (adrenaline auto-injector) with them at all times (if age-appropriate). Students must also carry their EpiPen and Action Plan to all off-site and out-of-school activities, e.g., sports, excursions, and 

camps.

Students with diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes are requested to carry their “hypo kit” at all times. Students must have a “hypo kit” with them during off-site and out-of-school activities, e.g., sports, excursions, and camps.

Students with other diagnosed medical conditions requiring prescribed medication, e.g. migraine and allergies, are requested to carry one dose of their medication with them when attending offsite school activities, e.g., sports, excursions, and camps.
