Supporting pupils

Student welfare work refers to all activities that support the school day and everyday studying. The school has a student welfare team (OHR), which is a multi-professional working group. The head teacher chairs the student welfare team.

The OHR consists of the head teacher, a special needs teacher with a broad range of expertise, the school psychologist, the school social worker, the school nurse and the teacher of the class or pupil whose issues are being discussed. All classes are reviewed once a year by the pupil welfare team together with the class teachers. Parents are also welcome to discuss matters conce ing their own children with the OHR. The time for the discussion will be agreed separately.

The student welfare team’s task is to support high-quality basic education and a good school day, to nurture a culture that promotes growth and development, and to organise and provide students with support related to school attendance when needed.

School health care

School health care supports the growth and development of children and young people and aims to contribute to the development of values and attitudes that promote health. Health examinations are carried out annually for pupils, and health monitoring visits are carried out as necessary. If necessary, the school nurse provides acute care to pupils who fall ill during the school day and administers first aid in the event of accidents. However, actual medical care is not part of school health care but is provided at health centres.

School meals and special diets for pupils

Parents are responsible for notifying the school of any special dietary requirements. Please contact the school nurse. She will forward the information about special dietary requirements to the municipal food services. Please note that the diet can be implemented two days after the notification has been received by the school kitchen.

Our school also offers a vegetarian option every day.

Read the Tuusula municipality’s guidelines on special diets!

Hobbies and club activities

Schools organise hobby and club activities. Information about these is provided via Wilma and on the school notice board. School hobby calendars can also be found on the municipality’s website.

Check out the hobby calendars(switch to another service).

Hobby and club activities are organised on the premises of schools and other operators, as well as online.

Student guidance

Guidance promotes fai ess, equality, equity and student participation. The activities take into account the individual starting points and needs of the pupils. Guidance can be personal, class-based or small group guidance.

Pupils receive guidance throughout their school career. In secondary school, there is a separate subject for this.
