In accordance with the School’s Medication Procedure, a Medication Authorisation Form must be completed and signed by the parent prior to any medication being administered. All medication sent to school must be labelled, in its original packaging and brought directly to the office. All students requiring medication will be supervised by office staff or by the school nurse. Staff cannot administer any medication to children without written permission.

Notes from the P&F
General Meetings
The P&F holds General Meetings, chaired by the President or Vice-President, who are supported by a Secretary, Treasurer, Fundraising Coordinator, Social & Pastoral Coordinator and Gardens & Maintenance Coordinator. Each of these Executive Committee Members, and all Ordinary Members, have the opportunity to attend the meetings and report on and/or discuss any pertinent issues.
Please note that all parents and carers at QoP are automatically Ordinary Members of the P&F and your ideas, thoughts and opinions are valued. P&F meetings are a great forum to have an open, honest and considerate discussion between parents, carers and the leadership of the School.
Come along and meet some friends you haven’t met yet! You will also get the chance to have a chat to the Principal and the Executive Committee.
Meeting Dates
