Access/Custody

 

On occasion we may have to act on parental access information held in our confidential school files.  It is vital that this information remains current and is supported by appropriate documentation. 

 

If a change occurs regarding the parenting/caring arrangements of your child/children, please report this to the office in person.  Where applicable, the Principal may meet with you to clarify the changes.   Also where applicable, a copy of relevant court orders must be provided by parents or carers for school records.

 

It is essential that the Principal, administration staff and class teachers are informed when changes associated with parental access issues arise so that appropriate action can be taken by the school where necessary.

 

Medical Conditions

 

If your child  has  a medical  condition  which  requires  administration  of  medication   in emergency  circumstances eg   severe allergies to food, beestings etc, parents are required to  furnish the school with a  medical plan for these procedures which is outlined  by  your child’s doctor.  Parents are responsible to provide and maintain the required medication and permission for its administration. These procedures need to be discussed and   be in place before the student begins school.

 

When your child needs administration of medicines for on-going or for short-term medical condition parents are required to complete a form (medical authority form) and have prescribed medicines in containers issued from the Pharmacy/ Doctors. 

 

We are unable to give students non-prescription medication e.g. Panadol.  Only medication prescribed by a medical practitioner may be administered.
