Our Health Centre, located in the Main Building, is well equipped and staffed to meet the routine and emergency health needs of our students. Three registered nurses provide on site care for illness and injuries 24 hours a day. The School's Physician, visits the School twice weekly to attend to individual student appointments. The physician is available for consultation and emergencies at any time. Dental care, physiotherapy and referral appointments are arranged as needed.

We encourage you to discuss your child's health with them, and we welcome your calls to the Health Centre should you have any concerns you wish to discuss.

New students may have some adjustment issues after arriving at Shawnigan. It is not unusual for a student to feel homesick after arrival, and we are accustomed to helping students through such a period. Our health and counselling staff will be glad to assist students with difficulties at any time during their years at Shawnigan.

Our goal is to promote and maintain the physical and emotional wellness of our students. We encourage students to visit us in the Health Centre and to know that help and advice are always readily accessible.
