Student Services 

Doctors in Schools 

During school terms, a weekly Thursday health/GP medical clinic is provided at Scoresby Secondary School. 

Working in the clinic there is a Registered Nurse called Mrs Jo Morkham, and two doctors who alternate at the clinic called Dr Prashima Illango and Dr Amitabh Ilango. 

The health/GP medical clinic is a free, bulk billed service and we ensure your privacy and information is kept confidential. There may be some circumstances where we gain your consent to share your information with an appropriate person where there are safety concerns for your wellbeing.  

We are here to help you with your health needs. Sometimes it can be hard to get to see a doctor after school or over the weekends. Our service is provided by the Victorian Government to make primary health care more accessible for students at school. 

Doctors and Nurses are well place to offer support and guidance on a broad range of health related issues. We want you to have your health needs met and supported so you can be in your best health. 

We open from 8.30 until 4pm, so if you need any information or support about our service please feel free to come and have a chat with us. 

You can make an appointment directly with the GP or Nurse or speak to your Head of School Leader to make an appointment and they will notify us.

Sleep

Sleep is a really important part of our life. It helps us to feel well, focused and happy. Most people experience a bad night's sleep now and again, but if you regularly don't get enough sleep, it can really affect how you feel and what you can get done during the day. Sleep is good for our physical and mental health.

If you would like more information on sleep please ask Nurse Jo in the Doctors in Schools clinic, who can provide you with more resource information on sleep from Headspace or go to Headspace.org.au or you can speak to one of our doctors at our Thursday clinic at the college.
