Rothesay Netherwood School's Health Services team is composed of school employees and affiliated health professionals.
The School Nurses are Mrs. Stephanie Taylor, Mrs. Brittany Taylor, and Mrs. Katie Loughery. The Health Centre is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8:30am to 4:30pm, and Wednesdays from 8:30am until 4:00pm. There is always a nurse on call outside of these hours.
The School Nurses can be reached by contacting the Health Centre at 506-848-0867 or by emailing health@rns.cc.
Day and boarding students who are ill during the school day are required to check into the Health Centre. If day students are too ill to attend classes, they will be released into their parent’s care after checking in with the nurses at the Health Centre. Boarding students return to their residences in the evening where they receive care from the houseparents. Parents will be contacted in cases of serious illness.
On-Site Doctor
Dr. Laura McMackin, whose practice is on campus in South House, serves as the school doctor and is available for boarding students of Rothesay Netherwood School. The school nursing team makes sure that students are seen in a timely manner. For urgent health care issues, appointments are usually the same day the appointment is requested. For dental care, including emergencies, a local dentist is available for our students.
Ken-Val Rehab & Sports Injury Clinic
Ken-Val Rehab & Sports Injury Clinic provides Athletic Therapy for our students and staff (fee for service). Ken Val Rehab & Sports Injury Clinic has a clinic right on campus within our 4000-square foot, fully equipped Roslyn Isobel Stollery Fitness Centre. Our goal at RNS is to ensure that any student, who has sustained a sports injury, has a safe reintegration back into school and their sport.
Rothesay Netherwood School is located on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik and Mi’kmaq Peoples. We are honoured to share this place, and as a school community we are committed to being responsible stewards of the land on which we live, teach, and learn, both today and for future generations.
