Aquinas Nurse to Carry Out Routine Health Checks

Aquinas College —

Adolescence is a time of growth and development and can be challenging for some.

Our school nurse Ana McFarlane will be conducting health checks on students using the Ministry of Health’s ‘HEEADSSS’ Assessment tool. This includes a range of questions relating to home, school, eating, drugs/alcohol, depression, sexuality and safety etc.

Any health risks identified will have the appropriate support offered to students and families. If you wish to opt out of having the check done please contact the Nurse at 543 2400 – Ext 241.
