Bali Family Health Harmony: School Starts with Wellness Wins

  For expat families, starting school in Bali isn't just about backpacks and books—it's about health compliance and community wellness. Ensure your transition is smooth by aligning your school start with healthy routines.



  
    ## Health Requirements for School Enrollment


    International schools in Bali have strict health protocols to protect the community.


    
      - **Vaccination Records:** You must provide up-to-date immunization records. Some schools follow Indonesian guidelines, while others follow WHO or specific national standards.

      - **General Health Checkups:** Most schools require a physical exam form completed by a licensed physician before the first day of class.

      - **Special Needs & Allergies:** Clear documentation for allergies (especially nut or seafood) and any special medical needs must be submitted to the school nurse.

    

  


  
    ## Building Healthy School Habits


    Help your child thrive by integrating wellness into their daily school life.


    
      - **Nutrition:** If your school provides meals, check their sourcing and nutritional balance. If packing lunch, ensure it's "island-proof" with insulated bags to handle the heat.

      - **Sleep Hygiene:** Early starts and tropical heat can be tiring. Maintain a consistent sleep schedule with air-conditioned comfort to help your child adapt.

      - **Local Pediatric Care:** Register with a local clinic (like Siloam or BIMC) near your school so you have a trusted doctor for those inevitable tropical "bugs."
