Rebekah Sayers
School Based Health Nurse |
The School Based Health Nurse works with students, school staff and parents to:
- Address concerns or problems about health and wellbeing
- Create a more supportive, healthy school environment (a health promoting school)
- Connect people to other support services inside and outside the school
As the School Nurse, I work in the school but I am employed by Queensland Health.
The School Based Health Nurse can see young people in private to talk about:
- Health concerns
- Relationships
- Personal and Family Problems
- Smoking, alcohol or drug use
- Sexual Health
- Healthy Skin
- Feeling unhappy or stressed
- Puberty, growing up
- Healthy eating, exercise, weight and eating problems
- Getting in touch with the right service
- Anything that effects health and wellbeing
How to contact me?
My office is in the Administration Block and I am at school Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
Appointments can be made with me via the office staff.
In most cases, it is best for young people to also talk to their parents about any problems and concerns they may have, and the School Based Youth Health Nurse can help them to do this.
