Nollamara Primary School
08 9413 1550
The school health service promotes healthy development and wellbeing, helping students reach their full potential. School nurses provide the service in partnership with the school. Our School Nurse, Mrs Jo Luplau, visits the school regularly.
Every child in Kindergarten is sent home with a School Health Assessment Entry form. Once this is completed, the nurse conducts a hearing, vision, and Body Mass Index assessment. If there are any concerns, the parents are contacted and referrals made if needed. We can assist the teachers if there are any concerns regarding Speech, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, or general development.
Teachers or parents of any year group can refer a child for a hearing or vision assessment. This is done by completing a Referral to Community Health Nurse Form. Other services the nurse can provide are: Helping school staff and parents develop health care plans, Parenting advice, and working with teachers to provide health education sessions e.g., puberty talks.
Please contact the front office on 08 9413 1550 if you would like any further information on this service.
