Primary School Health Nurse
A student's health and wellbeing is a significant determinant to the outcomes of their education. A child's overall health and wellbeing is influenced by all aspects of a child's life: the physical, social, emotional and psychological.
In 2021, I continue as the School Health Nurse at Glen Huon Primary School and I am at the school every Thursday.
My role includes:
- Kinder health checks- a consent form was sent home the week beginning 08/02.
- Hearing/ vision assessments (all grades)- parents/carers/guardians can refer their child to me if you have concerns with their vision and/or hearing. A referral form needs to be completed by you, please ask your child's teacher or at the main office for a referral form to complete.
- I am available to assist you with advice, guidance and support if you have concerns with your child’s overall development, diet and nutrition and/or weight, toileting issues, sleep problems etc.
I welcome you to contact me by phoning the school (who will pass on the message to me) or through your child’s teacher. I will then make phone contact with you at my earliest convenience.
