Medication: If a child requires prescribed medication while at school, <strong>Education</strong><br />
<strong>Queensland</strong>‟s regulations state that:<br />
1. The parent or guardian must in the first instance make a written request to<br />
the Principal of the school. Authority forms must be completed at the school<br />
office.<br />
2. The student‟s medication, with the pharmacist‟s written instruction on the<br />
container must be lodged with the school for security purposes.<br />
3. Administration of that medication will be carried out by an adult staff member<br />
designated by the Principal. Non-prescribed medications should not be<br />
brought to school and will not be administered by school staff.<br />
Sun Safe: “NO HAT, PLAY IN SHADE”.<br />
Visit by <strong>School</strong> Sister: A Registered Nurse from the <strong>State</strong> Department of Child<br />
Health visits the school annually to examine children in Prep. Parents are<br />
notified if further medical advice should be sought.<br />
12. Road Safety<br />
A school crossing supervisor‟s scheme is in operation. The crossings in Massey<br />
and Anthony Streets are usually supervised before and after school,<br />
8.00-9.00am and 2.55-3.25pm in Massey Street and in Anthony Street<br />
8.15-8.45am and 2.55-3.25pm. Parents are asked to ensure that children use<br />
these supervised crossings.<br />
The Crossing Supervisors are there for the protection of our children. WAIT<br />
until the whistle has blown before crossing the road and ALWAYS cross at the<br />
crossing. The crossing supervisors are employed and trained by the <strong>State</strong><br />
Department of Transport.<br />
Road safety issues have a high profile at our school.<br />
Please obey parking regulations. Do not park over yellow lines.<br />
The two minute passenger zones are there for a good reason - TO ALLOW<br />
CHILDREN TO BE DROPPED OFF AND COLLECTED IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO<br />
THE SCHOOL. PLEASE DO NOT ABUSE THIS PRIVILEGE.<br />
To use the two minute zones correctly - pull in, drive forward, stop to drop off<br />
or pick up at the head of the queue, pull out.<br />
Make sure that your children always use the car safety door - on the curb side<br />
Never double park.<br />
Never call your child across the road to you.<br />
