Waikato Unit

Waikato (Hamilton) – Verox Building, 5 King Street, Frankton, Hamilton 3204

NHS Waikato Unit serves the Waikato hospital and surrounding areas of Hamilton including Ngāruawāhia, Huntly, Te Kauwhata, Raglan, and between.

NHS Waikato unit teachers work with school age students in both hospital and in the community who meet Northern Health School admission criteria. Education programmes are planned in association with staff of the student’s regular school and may include Te Aho O Te Kura Pounamu (Correspondence School) subjects. An ILP (Individual Learning Plan) is developed for each student in association with their school of enrolment, parents and any others who may be involved in their wellbeing.

NHS teachers may visit students in their homes depending on their health needs, and students may attend NHS student support centre or their school of enrolment on a part time basis. When the time is appropriate, the NHS teacher will help transition student back to school on a full time or reduced timetable basis.

When visiting students in the community teachers may have the use of a NHS vehicle; however should a vehicle be unavailable, teachers will be expected to use their own vehicle and be reimbursed according to the teacher’s collective agreement.

ICT is an integral part of Northern Health School’s administration, programme development and student record activities. Teachers in all of our units must be prepared to use ICT extensively in the course of their work.

Teachers are responsible to the Waikato Unit Associate Principal and supported by office administrators and a teacher aide.
