The Student Health Clinic is situated at the back entrance of Rutherford College (Toru Street), and is the first building on the right hand side as you come in the driveway. The health clinic is serviced by our registered nurse, Val O'Gorman, and she is the first point of call for each student that is referred/presents to the clinic. All students must have their diary signed by the teacher whose class they have left, in order to ensure that students are marked present, as this avoids truancy problems/issues.

Student Health Services 2007

Student Health Services is situated at the rear entrance to the school at Toro Street.

We are in the first building on the right hand side and are signposted as Student Health Services. This is where the Health Clinic is located and where second hand uniform and stationery are sold as well as lost property stored.

The Health Clinic is in the Student Health Services building. We have a registered nurse on site during school hours who is accessible for students to visit in their own time or with permission from the class teacher or Dean. If a student's medication is changed during the year or any medical conditions occur, please let our nurse know so that she can be informed and can give ongoing assistance. A student Health Record card must be signed before any students can be given Panadol or any other medication.

Of particular concern is the huge amount of lost property that is accumulated each term. Students are encouraged to visit regularly and are reminded with notices in the daily bulletin. Often students report things as stolen but they turn up in lost property so it is good to check.

At the beginning of each term clothing from the previous term that has not been claimed is donated to charity. We suggest that all clothing be named so that items can be returned to the rightful owner.

As parents and caregivers please feel free to visit us between the hours of 8.30 am and 2.30pm if you wish to check the lost property or purchase any of the uniform or stationery.

If you have any concerns concerning the health of your student please don’t hesitate to contact Student Health Services on 834 9790 ex 226.
