Administration of Medication at School - Policy Update
As a school that is part of the Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools, St Simon’s is working through implementing a range of updated “system-wide” policies.
How the school manages the medical and health needs of students is outlined in the Medical Management Policy (please see the link below).
The way we handle the administration of the medication and medicine is outlined in the school’s Administration of Medication to Students - Procedures document (see link below)
Over the coming weeks, we will contact families with current arrangements in place for medication administration and put things in place to ensure they are consistent with the updated policy.
Families with students in Year Six and Year Four will also be contacted soon as this updated policy has implications for how medicine is administered at school camp.
I highly encourage all parents to familiarise themselves with these documents and consider what steps must be taken concerning their child\ren health needs and attendance at school.
All current arrangements for the distribution of medicine to students during school hours or activities will remain in place until the updated policy has been applied.
