School health care

Student welfare services are preventive activities that support the educational community. In addition, pupils have the right to receive individual student welfare services. Every school has an appointed nurse, whose contact information is available on the school's website. You can contact us by telephone or visit us with an appointment or during open reception hours without an appointment. Our most common form of work is meeting pupils and parents at the reception for annual health examinations. You do not need to wait for a separate invitation; you can always book an appointment. You can also book an appointment or contact us by telephone if you have any concerns or questions about your child's health or well-being. Medical care is not included in school health care. Your child can visit the school's physician in grades 1, 5 and 8 or as needed. School health care participates in solving problems that hinder learning and school attendance and in providing support together with other student welfare staff. If necessary, your child can participate in the groups organised by the communal and individual student welfare group and in learning support groups. School health care services are part of the family centre services provided by the well-being services county. Communal student welfare is a primary and preventative measure, which refers to the school's operating culture that promotes pupils' learning, health and well-being, social responsibility as well as interaction and inclusion.
