Nurse’s Clinic

The School Nurse is a Youth Health Specialist who provides confidential, accessible, clinical and health promotional services for all students at Waiheke High school. The aim is to enhance the health and wellbeing of students supporting them to be engaged, connected, successful young people in the community. This includes facilitating access to other health and social agencies, promoting a healthy school environment and supporting staff to deliver the NZ Health and PE curriculum.

Doctor’s Clinic

We are very lucky to have doctors working for the clinic. Currently we have Rob Kay from Ostend Medical Centre. The doctors are youth friendly and very approachable. The students seem to appreciate the relaxed atmosphere within the clinic. The doctors sessions are well utilised. The aim is to have a positive impact on the student’s health and wellbeing.

Careers Advice

The Careers Advisor provides advice and information to students and their families on tertiary selection (course and subject), career choice, tertiary applications, open days at tertiary institutions and transition from school to work or further study. The Careers Advisor liaises with Faculty Leaders and Deans in order to provide assistance for all careers advice. There is a Career section in the School Library.
