Background information

School health care employees monitor each pupil’s growth and development. They also promote their health and wellbeing and support parents and guardians in the education of their children. School health care services are also responsible for ensuring the healthiness and safety of their school’s environment.

Pupils are subjected to a health examination in each grade. If a pupil has any long-term illnesses or requires further examination and treatment, their school’s health care services will refer them to the right services. If the pupil and any person accompanying them incur any costs from a school health care-related journey, these costs will be reimbursed.
