Public Health Nurses are employed to support schools and families with student health issues. The Public Health Nurse can:

• Meet with you at home/school/workplace/café to talk about how to manage your children’s health problems in a way that suits your family, and work with you while you get sorted.
• Attend health appointments with you and your child to support you to have your questions answered.
• Support teachers to manage your child’s health issue during the school day by providing advice and support.
• Access further support with your consent and follow through to make sure that you get the support that you want.

Emily is the Public Health Nurse connected with the Halswell School community and can provide confidential and free Nursing support as part of the Halswell School team. You can call or text, or ask school staff to connect you. 027 2211 236
