Every school has a designated school nurse available during school hours. You can visit the school nurse to discuss any health or wellbeing concerns confidentially, or to schedule an appointment. The school nurse is also available to assist with accidents or injuries that occur during the school day. You can find the school nurse’s contact information on your school’s website.

School health care also includes regular health examinations. Through annual check-ups, we monitor your health over the long term. In grades 1, 5, and 8, you will have a comprehensive health examination, where you’ll meet both the school nurse and a doctor.
