Our aim is to provide holistic health care, in order to foster the learning, growth and wellbeing of our students. These principles and values are the cornerstones upon which we build the strong, positive and respectful relationships that typify and are integral to the daily life of our Kura and community.
The nurse provides a comprehensive health service within the school.
There is one nurse – Paula Ngatai (Registered Nurse). The service offered is private and confidential, but if harm is involved there may be the need to discuss the issue with a third person.
The health centre is open from 09.00am – 3.00pm (Tuesday - Thursdays) with an open door policy during break times.
Any student who needs to come to the health centre during class time will need to go to the tari first.
If the nurse needs to call a student from class, a note will usually be sent via the tari.
