First Aid
Anaphylaxis, Allergy and Asthma Action Plans
A reminder to parents/carers, to please provide the Front Office with the following if your child has allergies or asthma, or is at risk of anaphylaxis:
- An up-to-date action plan, completed and signed by a medical professional
Any required medication, clearly labelled with the student’s name. Medication must be in its original packaging and not expired.
Medications at School
As part of Lyndale Secondary College’s duty of care, prescribed medications may be stored and administered in the First Aid Room whilst your child is at school.
All prescribed medications must be clearly labelled with
- Child’s name and Date of Birth
- Year Level
- Name of Medication
- Instruction of dosage, including times to be administered and duration of course.
All details will be entered into the School Medication Register and students will access their medication in the First Aid Room.
Please be aware that sometimes circumstances beyond our control may interfere with the correct time of administration of your child’s medication. In these situations, we will endeavour to administer the medication as soon as is practicable, unless otherwise directed.
To assist us please complete a Medications form (can be attained from the school office) and return it, together with your child’s medication. A new form will need to be filled out on each occasion your child requires medication.

First Aid - Medical Forms
Student Action Plans, Health Support Plans and Medication
As we begin the school year, we ask that families provide the school with current medical action plans and any required medication for their child. This includes (but is not limited to) plans for asthma, allergies/anaphylaxis, diabetes, epilepsy, or any other medical condition that requires monitoring or administration while at school. Students with complex medical needs must complete a Student Health Support Plan to provide for their specific health care needs.
If you are new to our school community, please forward your child’s current action plan, health support plan (if required), medication and medication authority form as soon as possible so we can ensure your child’s wellbeing and safety while in our care.
- Please ensure action plans are signed by a medical practitioner and are in date
- Medication must be clearly labelled in original packaging with your child’s name and dosage instructions
- A Medication Authority Form must be completed by a parent/carer
- Medication must be delivered to the school office by a parent/carer
If your child’s medical needs change at any time throughout the year, please notify us so we can update our records. Thank you for your support to help us maintain a safe environment for all students. If you have any questions, please contact the school office or e-mail lyndale.sc@education.vic.gov.au
