Hamilton Girls’ High School has a health clinic, Te Whare Hauora, which is available for all of our students to use. The aim is to provide free and confidential services to our young women so they are looked after and have the skills and knowledge to shape their own destiny. The nurses have the responsibility of dispensing medicine and admitting students to the clinic if they are unwell. Family and caregivers of students admitted to the clinic will be contacted by the nurse as soon as practicable in case of an emergency or if the student is unwell and needs to go home.
Our nurses collaborate with students, families/whānau, school staff and outside health services to best meet the health and wellbeing needs of our students.
To see the nurse, no appointments are needed but we do prefer students to come at interval and lunch. A student should only come to see the nurse during class if it is an emergency, and a teacher’s permission to see the nurse is needed.

A student’s medical history is invaluable in treating them correctly and ensures that appropriate treatment is provided. It is also of great value to keep medical information updated. A completed and signed medical history and consent form is an essential part of a student’s enrolment.
Health services include physical, mental, emotional and social assessment and intervention. There are a range of other health services that provide health care outside school, these may include Sexual Health, Physiotherapy, Public health nurse and the District Nurse services among others.
