School Nurse
A word from the nurse
The school nurse administers first aid for injuries and illnesses only. She does not diagnose illnesses but takes note of symptoms and notifies the parent/guardian of her observations. We ask that students be kept at home when ill and have a normal temperature for 24 hours after any illness (without the use of fever reducing medications) before returning to school. This is important for the health of your child and for the health and wellbeing of all students and staff at St Anthony Catholic High School.
