MEDICAL INFORMATION
Students with medical needs such as allergies, anaphylaxis, asthma or diabetes must have a current Action Plan in place. This plan outlines the condition and the steps staff need to follow to provide care or respond in an emergency. Action Plans also require sign-off by a medical practitioner.
Parents and carers are responsible for informing the classroom teacher and school administration of any changes to their child’s condition, medication or procedures so the Action Plan can be updated. Action Plans must be reviewed and updated annually.
MEDICATION ADMINISTERING PROCEDURES
Parents and carers must complete the appropriate documentation before any medication can be administered at school.
Medication must be supplied in a clearly labelled container showing the student’s name, medication name and required dosage.
Only minimal quantities of medication should be sent to school unless prior arrangements have been made with the school.
School staff will administer medication strictly in accordance with written instructions or medical advice. Form 3 – Administration of Medication is available from the school front office or one can be found here.

NUT FRIENDLY SCHOOL
Some students at our school have severe nut allergies and may be at risk of experiencing anaphylaxis, a serious and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. To help minimise this risk, parents and carers are asked not to send foods containing nuts to school, including peanuts, tree nuts, peanut butter and products such as Nutella.
Food sharing can also increase the risk of an allergic reaction. We ask families to support the school by reinforcing with children the importance of not sharing food with others.
