Medication Administration Policy
We encourage parents and physicians to minimise the prescribing of medication to be taken during the school day. Medication will be expected to be given before and after school hours when possible. However, if your child requires medication in school, a completed “Medical Authorisation Form” must be submitted to the school (together with the medication) before any medication can be administered.
Medication refers to routine medicines administered orally (tablets or liquid), ointments/creams or sprays.
Nut Allergies & Food Sharing
Nut allergies can be life-threatening. Children may have an anaphylactic reaction to food containing nuts or nut products. This may be ingested, inhaled as vapour or by skin contact, e.g. peanut butter smeared on the skin.
We ask that you DO NOT send nuts, peanut butter or other food containing nut products in your child’s lunch or snack.
The children in the class know that it is a Peak School Rule that food is not shared in school. Please discuss this with your child and contact the nurse if you have any further queries.
Fever Policy
Students with a temperature of 37.5°C/99.5°F or greater, should remain away from school until they are fever free for 48 hours without the benefit of fever reducing medicines such as Panadol or Ibuprofen (Nurofen, Advil).
Infectious Diseases Policy
Students should remain away from school until 48 hours after the last episode of vomiting and diarrhea. Some diseases are categorised as “notifiable diseases” in Hong Kong. Therefore, it is important for parents to notify the school immediately, if a child is diagnosed by a doctor, as the school will need to take appropriate precautions.
