COLLEGE PROCEDURES:

• Administration of Medication to Students
  
  Students are not to bring medication in any form to school except under the conditions below. Non-prescribed medicines are not available in the school, nor will they be administered by teachers.
  
  If it is essential for your child to take PRESCRIBED MEDICINE during school hours the following procedure needs to be followed:

a. a request be made in writing to the school by the parent (on the admission form or by note)

b. the medication is left at the office for security

c. the medical practitioner's instructions are conveyed to the administration in that letter

The only exception to the policy above relates to asthmatic students who are responsible for taking their own medication at home. These students should have ready access to their asthma medication during school hours, provided that written permission from a parent or legal guardian is presented to the school initially.

Students are responsible for their inhalers at all times. It is not a requirement that inhalers be stored in a central location as required for other medications.

Students should not be denied access to their inhalers. An inhaler for emergency situations is included in the school's first aid kit.
