Administration of Medication Policy
St Francis de Sales Primary School has a duty of care to ensure that reasonable care is taken, and appropriate processes are in place when administering all medications in the school environment and during school related activities. Our school requires that parents must make a written request to the school when their child requires medication to be taken during school hours or during school activities including school camps and excursions.
The school requires written advice from parents/guardians/carers about the administration of all medication within school environments and during school activities (including over the counter or prescription) via a Medication Authority Form (MAF).
The MAF must be signed by the parent/guardian/carer, and by an authorised Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) registered medical / health practitioner. The form is available on the school website under Our Policies and then in School Policies.
Parents/guardians/carers have a responsibility to provide all medication in the original packaging with the original label including the name of the student (for prescription medication), information on the dosage, storage requirements, method, and time to be administered.
Parents of children that have medication expiring during Term 1 are asked review the medication and if applicable to supply the school with medicine that is current.
The footy season is off and flying with a full weekend of games!!!
