Student health care

As an upper secondary student, you have access to student welfare services at your school provided by your school's welfare team. This multidisciplinary team includes professionals such as special education teachers, psychologists, school social workers, nurses, and doctors.

During school holidays, we offer specialised support in mental health and sexual health matters. Additionally, we conduct conscription health examinations at our Centralised Unit of Student Health Care.
