The school physician visits the Health Centre weekly and is available for consultation when needed. When a student is referred to a specialist, parents are contacted and options discussed. It is preferable, when possible, that parents accompany the student on visits to specialists, in order to provide background history and to be part of the decision-making regarding the plan for treatment. A psychiatrist, specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry, provides consultative services on special referral, to students in need of such interventions. Students experiencing ENT problems may be referred by the school doctor, nurse or audiologist.
Dental care is offered in emergency situations only.
Physiotherapy and occupational therapy services are provided as needed. It is suggested that parents arrange an eye examination, by an ophthalmologist every 2-3 years. The Student Health Centre is located in the Resource Department. The Student Health Centre remains open when students are admitted as in-patients. Presently there are a limited number of in-patient beds available in the Centre.
