It’s Friday! And this week’s fantastic facilitator is Rache Wareing. Manager of the Healthcare Centre. The full piece will be up on Monday, but here’s a taster -
What do you enjoy most about working at Gordonstoun?
Caring for the students, looking after their physical wellbeing and emotional health, and the challenges that can bring sometimes. Every day is completely different in the healthcare centre, no day is ever the same. It’s great fun - hard work but great fun.
What is your biggest challenge in your role?
Working with international students and parents brings different challenges in healthcare, because how they treat someone at home may be different from how we treat someone here. I try to ask the student “how would you treat this at home?”. For example, we had a student recently who would treat their illness with a hot rice and soup dish, so I cooked it for them. It’s a tiny thing, it only took me about 20 minutes, but for them it’s really important, and psychologically it definitely helps them. I try to bring elements of their home environment into the healthcare centre, that attention to detail really makes a difference. It’s really important to learn about the student and what we can do to support them.
🙏 #thankyou to the whole Healthcare team at school for the incredible work they do.
