Parental Consent Forms
If your child requires essential medicines during school hours, you will need to complete a form giving staff permission to do so.
Medicines brought to school should always be provided in the original container as dispensed by a pharmacist and include the prescriber’s instructions for administration.
School will keep written records of each time a medicine is given.
Please download and complete the required form and return to the school office together with your child's medication, or pick up a form from the school office.
