Thank you to those families who have completed the 2020 medical forms. If you have not yet completed the forms can you please do as a priority. There are copies available at the front office if required.
Kindergarten and Preschool have already completed this form.
It is your responsibility to advise the school if any there are any changes to your child's medical records.
Every student needs to have a Medical Information and Consent Form completed annually as a snapshot of medical needs and for parents/carers to consent to first aid treatment for their child/ren in line with the Directorate’s First Aid Policy and First Aid General Procedures.
Additionally, if you identify any specialist medical condition marked with an asterisk (*) or condition that will require action plans, you need to complete a Known Medical Condition Response Plan (attached) signed by the student’s qualified health professional and student’s parents/carers.
Where the treatment/management of a known medical condition requires the administration of medication for a period of more than one school week (regular ongoing medication) a Medication Authorisation Administration Record must also be completed by the student’s parent/carer and submitted with the Known Medical Condition Response Plan.
