Any prescribed medication may be sent to school and left in the care of the school medical staff, who will administer the medication as indicated.  Parents should send an accompanying letter granting permission for the medication to be administered.  Any medication sent into school for a specific student must be in the named packaging from the pharmacy.  Students who make requests for non-prescription medication e.g. Paracetamol, must also have a letter from parents granting permission for this to be given by school staff.
