#Students will be briefed before the check-up for scoliosis is done for each student in an enclosed area for privacy.
During the check-up, the student will be asked to show his/her back to the female doctor or nurse before being asked to
remove his/her top and/or brassiere. Your child's back will be examined from behind while standing upright and while
bending forward so that the doctor or nurse can screen for abnormal curvature of the backbone. If further assessment is
required, your child will be referred to the Student Health Centre.
