Mana Kids at East Tāmaki School
At East Tāmaki School, we are lucky to have two Mana Kids Nurses visit our school every day. These nurses provide a range of services free of charge to all students who have consent. There are several ways your child can be seen by our school nurse:
- Teachers can refer students to our nurses.
- You can call the school and request your child be seen by a nurse.
- Nurses will do regular classroom checks on each child.
For any questions or referrals, you can email Sholyn at sholyn.lal@tamakihealth.co.nz
