SCHOOL HEALTH IN ST MATTHEWS PRIMARY SCHOOL
School doctor Dr Lane, School Nurse Mrs C. Ray
For almost 100 years the School health service has been working with children, their parents and teachers to find out health problems and help children develop a healthy lifestyle.
The school nurse works closely with teachers to help with health education in the classroom and gives advice on good health. She can also visit at home.
Children have regular eyesight, hearing and growth checkups during the primary school years. At 5-6 years of age, children will have their first medical examination, when parents are invited to come and discuss their child's health and progress with the school nurse and doctor.
Pediatricians and other specialists give parents advice if their children have any health problems.
Children, parents, teachers and health professionals work as a team if there are any special needs for children with disabilities.
1. Is there a doctor or a nurse in your school? Where can you find them?
2. Have you been to the medical room in your school? Why did you go there? What is there in the medical room?
3. Do you have medical checkups at school? What do the doctors check?
