A message from our school-based youth health nurse
Allow me to introduce myself and let you know about the Health Services available to your school community and my role as the School's Youth Health Nurse. I am able to assist in any of the following health areas/issues:
Physical/Mental and Emotional Health
Nutrition and exercise
Puberty
Sexual health and contraception
Relationships / Peer pressure / Family disruption
Smoking, Alcohol and other drugs
Body image / eating disorders
Vision and hearing tests
Health information for use in related school assignments
I would like to support you as students by promoting awareness of your own health needs and to encourage you to actively participate in your own health care. I am available for confidential consultations by all students, parents and staff on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. I am located in the S.H.E.D. behind the Tuckshop in A block.
Feel free to drop in during your breaks or make an appointment at Student Services. I have an 'open door' policy during lunch and morning tea so drop in for a chat, as I am keen to meet and get to know as many young people as possible. Remember! There is nothing so awful that you cannot talk to someone about it.
