From the School Nurses

At the start of the year, we like to identify all students who may have an increased need for our services.

If your child has significant health needs that we should be aware of, please contact us so that we can ensure the information we have about your child is as up-to-date as possible.

If your child’s health needs have changed since enrolment, it is also helpful for us to know.

Please contact the Nurses via the nurse phone 021-414-845, during school hours.

Alternatively, my email is harrisj@wsc.school.nz

Be protected against meningococcal disease

Meningococcal disease is a dangerous illness that can kill or cause serious disability. The best way to protect against the disease is to be vaccinated with both the MenB and the MenACWY vaccines. Until 28 February, these are available free for those aged 13 to 25 years in close living situations (e.g. boarding school or hostel).
