Medications at School

If your child requires medication at school, a note identifying the child, class, medication name, dosage, and time to be given needs to be sent to the office.

The medication should be in the original container/box and should also have a chemist label on it. All medication is dispensed through the office and is signed off on a medication register.

If the appropriate permission is not sent with the medication, it cannot be given to the student. It is also a good idea to mention to the student’s teacher that there is medication at the Office and what time it is to be given.

Keeping information up to date

Parents and Caregivers are reminded to keep all details for Contacts and Students up to date. When changes are made on Operoo (previously CareMonkey), the School Administration are notified and details are also updated there.

New families who have not submitted profiles for their students, are asked to do this as soon as possible. All permission notes and important notices are sent to families through the Operoo App. Staff have access to details when they are on excursion, camps etc.
