Dear Parents / Guardians,

Please find below important information pertaining to medication storage and administration whilst on camp. These guidelines have been implemented to ensure your child’s safety and the safety of others.

Any student who requires regular medications whilst on camp will need to provide the following;

• Webster pack with required regular medication, including vitamins and supplements. NOTE – These packs MUST be prepared and packed by a Pharmacy. Please liaise with your local
  pharmacist to have the medications packed. These must be handed to a teacher prior to departure.
• Medication form. Please complete the below medication form and email to eboney.franklyn@bcgs.wa.edu.au prior to camp. A hard copy must also be presented with the webster packed medications, on the day of departure.

EXCEPTIONS;

• Short term medications such as Antibiotics. These must be provided in the prescribed packaging with the medication form.
• The contraceptive pill can be kept on their person and self-administered (applicable only to Secondary Students).
• Inhalers and EpiPens. These must be kept on their person – ASCIA and Asthma action plans must also be provided prior to departure.

Students are not required to bring “as needed” medications such as Paracetamol, Ibuprofen and Antihistamines. These will be administered by staff as required, if consent has been given.

Medications handed to staff in zip lock bags or other packaging not meeting the above requirements, will not be accepted.

We thank you for your cooperation. Please do not hesitate to contact myself, if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind regards,
Eboney Franklyn, School Nurse
