The care of our pupils is paramount. We endeavor to help our students remain healthy and enjoy a full education. All of the housestaff are trained First Aiders and the school has two Registered General Nurses who are both resident whilst on duty. There is also a College Doctor who visits weekly to see boarders with appointments.
Princess Helena College has its own surgery, situated in the Main School, which offers a confidential service to all students and staff. This area has a treatment room, bedrooms for sick students and an office.
A dentist is offered to all students. Boarders are, however encouraged to remain with their existing dentist for routine care and to have check-ups during the school holidays.
Sight-testing, repairs and replacement glasses are available with a local optician if required.
All Boarders are routinely registered with the School Doctor who will oversee their medical welfare. On arrival, all new Boarders will have a consultation with the School Doctor and routine health screening (recording height and weight, urine, vision and hearing test) with the School Nurse.
The nurses aim to meet the individual health and medical needs of the pupils
