Medication 

Medical Policy (Distribution of Medication) 

St Mary’s recognises that some students have medical plans that require the distribution of medication within the school day. It is invaluable that we have qualified nurses who can support the highest degree of care and expertise in support of your child. St Mary’s is bound by the CECV policy on what must be provided by the parents, medical practitioners and pharmacists in regard to distributing medication. Please see the attached policy for further information. 

 

A written request must be received from the parent for the administration of medication, St Mary's Medication Permission Form 2025. 

This relates to all prescription and non-prescription medication (including over-the-counter medication such as paracetamol, anti-histamines or alternative medicines); 

School Nurses can only administer medication directly from the original medication container.

For prescription medication, ensure the pharmacy label is attached to the original container and includes the student name, strength and description of medication, dosage and route (e.g. inhaled/orally) of administration, correct storage, timing, administration medication expiry date & pharmacist’s details.

Bus Travellers 

  • Students living in Echuca Town area (VIC) need to contact Echuca-Moama Town Services on 5480 2181 for further details of times and bus stops.
  • If you are travelling on an Echuca town bus (Blue and Yellow bus), you do not need a bus pass but you must pay $1.50 each way. (It is best to have correct money)

Please note, if your child is a town bus traveller, there is a fee of $1.50 each way fee that needs to be paid by the student.

 

Bus travellers who arrive prior to 8:30 AM will be separately supervised in the Brigidine Centre by support staff. Children in this setting sit in rows, waiting patiently for the 8:30 AM start time of teaching staff. At 8:30 AM, learners will begin their daily routine. 

 

At the end of the day, bus travellers will sit at allocated waiting bays, ready for the buses to arrive. Familiar staff facilitate these duties to best support the learners and the bus drivers. The highest standards of behavior are expected from our bus travellers while traveling to and from school, and St Mary’s works in collaboration with our local transport companies. 

 

If your child is in Foundation and catching the bus for the first time, please inform your child’s classroom teacher and seek support if needed.

If you reside within the 4.8 km zone, there is an each way fare that is payable by the traveller.
