To see a Nurse

You are welcome to come to the clinic anytime during morning tea or lunchtime without an appointment. You will need a note from your teacher to access the nurses outside of those times.

If you have an appointment with the Nurses or Doctor we will send a runner to collect you from class. If it is not convenient, for example you have an assessment, please ask the runner to rebook your appointment.
