Student Health Nurse
Leah Dixon
(DDI) 07 242 9067

Please feel free to phone with any concerns about your child’s health, or if you need advice or referral to other services, such as Dental, Hearing and Vision Services, Dietician, Public Health Nurses, Community Nursing Services.

Please make sure we know about any special health needs or conditions your child may have. 

I am available for clinical consultations for students by appointment, and during school breaks (interval/lunch). Appointments can be made at student reception/via email or coming to the School Based Health Centre and requesting one.  

All consultations are strictly confidential.

HEEADSS assessments:

Adolescence is a time of growth and development and can be challenging for some.

The Student Health Nurse will be conducting health checks on students using the Ministry of Health’s “HEEADSSS” assessment tool.  This includes a range of questions relating to home, school, eating, drug/alcohol, depression/mental health, sexuality and safety.  

Any health risks identified will have the appropriate support offered to students and families.

NOTE: You have the option of opting out of this when filling out the Health Form found in the school enrolment packs.
