School health care
School health care is intended for comprehensive school children and their families. We work proactively to promote the physical, mental and social health of pupils and to prevent illnesses and various forms of abuse and addiction. School health care works with pupils, their parents, school personnel and other pupil welfare staff. In addition, School health care aims to make the school a healthy and safe environment where everyone can work and learn.
School health care activities
School health care includes:
- Monitoring pupil’s growth and development and promoting their health and wellbeing.
- Supporting the pedagogical work of parents
- Identifying the pupils’ need for support and health examinations, and referring them for further health examinations and treatment if necessary
- Promoting and monitoring the health and safety of the school environment and the wellbeing of the entire school community
- Multiprofessional pupil welfare work
- Oral health care
- Special health examinations necessary to determine the pupils’ state of health
Book an appointment at your health station for issues requiring acute medical attention. Appointment bookings for a school doctor are made through a school nurse.
Health check-ups
School health care includes annual health check-ups, of which 1st, 5th and 8th grade health examinations are extensive. Health check-ups always include individual health counselling.
We hope that parents / guardians will take part in extensive 1st, 5th and 8th grade health examinations. Parents are also welcome at other health inspections.
In addition to the pupil’s health and wellbeing, the school nurse and doctor always assess the wellbeing of the whole family in large-scale 1st, 5th and 8th grade health inspections. We discuss a wide range of issues with the family during the check-up, and together we go through the teacher’s assessment of the pupil’s presence at school.
The pupil’s health is also examined in the 8th grade check-up in terms of postgraduate studies and career choice.

Electronic services
Parents can book an appointment electronically for the child’s 1st and 5th grade extensive health examinations, as well as the 7th grade health check-up. In addition, a 30 min appointment can be booked, for example, for a vaccination visit. In addition to appointment bookings, parents can send a message to the nurse about the child’s health using the e-services, as well as postpone or cancel their appointments electronically. Cancellations must be made no later than 1 day before the booked appointment.
As a parent, you must first activate your own electronical service so that you can act for your child. You need a bank ID or mobile certificate to sign-in to the service. Here you can access the eHealth service. After logging into the service, you can activate your own electronic transaction under: Forms.
Acting on behalf of a child
Note! When acting on behalf of your child, please mark your child as the client!
- In the upper right corner of the e-service, select your own name (on the telephone, a human figure in the upper right corner of the page), and a menu will open from which you can select: Apply for authorisation from the Suomi.fi service
- Choose the child for whom you want to act and then book an appointment. If you are acting on behalf of the child for the first time, you can also activate the transaction on behalf of the child for the messaging service under Forms. By filling out the form, please allow online transactions, text messaging and appointment bookings so that you can use all the services available also in the future.
After activating the services, you can book an appointment for the child to have a health check-up on the e-services, or you can send and read messages on the section messages. Besides seeing the appointments booked for your child, you can also change the bookings if necessary in the same service.
