Public Health Nurse
Kia ora - My name is Holly, I’m the allocated Public Health Nurse for your school. I work with tamariki and whānau where health and wellbeing concerns impact on their home and school lives.Thousands of tamariki in New Zealand wake in the morning to a wet bed. Wetting the bed at night (nocturnal enuresis) is very common in young tamariki.
It affects approximately:- 15% of 5-year-olds- 5% of 10-year-olds- 2% of 15-year-olds- 1% of adults
The Public Health Nursing Service accepts referrals for children 7 Years and older who experience bed wetting. Follow the link for further information on Bed Wetting Bedwetting | KidsHealth NZ

Whooping Cough (Pertussis)
If babies catch whooping cough they may not be able to breathe properly, may become ill that they need to go to hospital and could end up with serious complications.
The disease is most infectious in the first couple of weeks, when symptoms present like a normal
cold, and is infectious for 3-4 weeks after the cough starts.
Most babies catch whooping cough from parents or older siblings, before they are old enough to
be immunised.
