Ronald McDonald Unit (RMH)
Northern Health School has units in various locations across our region.
This Unit operates in a classroom which has been established at Ronald McDonald House at Auckland City Hospital. The students are a mix of outpatients staying at the House and well students who have an ill family member in hospital. Students are generally from out of town and unable to attend their local school.
RMH unit staff have close working relationships with the NHS Starship team, RMH staff and medical teams involved in the students’ care.
There are generally 5-18 students in attendance at any one time but these numbers fluctuate depending on admissions to the House. Students are more likely to be primary or intermediate school age, but from time to time there will be secondary aged students as well. Student length of stay varies but most students attend the NHS Wilson Centre for one to eight weeks.
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.
The RMH unit is staffed by a full-time teacher and a part-time teacher aide, who are employed by the Board of Trustees of Northern Health School and are responsible to the NHS principal and/or principal’s nominee.
