School Based Youth Health Nurse

Semester 2 will continue the ongoing partnership with Queensland Health to provide a weekly service for all students with two School Based Youth Health Nurse’s (SBYHN’s) at PBC. Our SBYHN’s are Vanessa Bradley and Laura Barresi who provide a confidential service and are able to support young people navigate teen years safely.

The SBYHN’s are located in D Block and are available Monday (Vanessa) and Tuesday (Laura). Their role at PBC is to support students and their families around issues such as:

  • Sexual Health
