Massey High School
Our Health Centre Nurses

We have three registered nurses in the Health Centre who deliver a professional, high-quality health care service. We are mindful of student safety and confidentiality and provide care in a respectful and supportive manner.

The nurses aim to complete a comprehensive health assessment for every Year 9 student when they start at Massey High School. They are also able to refer students to appropriate agencies and support services if required.

The nurses work closely with other departments within the school, including counsellors, behavioural support, and Special Education Needs (SENCO), to ensure students receive the right support.

School Doctor

There is also a School Doctor available by appointment on Thursdays for students who are unable to attend their own GP. Tuesday appointments are currently unavailable while we are in the process of appointing a new doctor. We hope to reinstate these in the near future. 

Appointments to see the doctor are made through the nurse on a priority basis.
