Starship Community has opened a health clinic on the grounds of Point England School to look after the health of vulnerable children.
The Whare Hauora clinic was launched by Starship Community in partnership with the Starship Foundation and the school.
It will also provide outreach clinics in the community.
Starship community operations manager Paula Seymour said children's health and education are inter-dependent.
"Positioning health services alongside education increases access to healthcare and encourages positive health and education outcomes for children," Seymour said.
Young patients will gain prompt assessment and treatment, cutting the number of admissions to hospital for respiratory illnesses and skin conditions, she said.
The clinic's accessibility had the potential to reduce travel costs and the need for caregivers to take time off work for Starship appointments, Seymour said.
Whare Hauora is the brainchild of Nurse Consultant Sarah Williams, who saw first-hand the need for healthcare spaces within primary schools.
"Having the Whare Hauora means we can deliver more comprehensive and timely health services in schools with a focus on early intervention and support for the management of long term conditions,” Williams said.
"Since the first facility was established at Panmure Bridge School in 2018, we have seen a noticeable decrease in health related absenteeism suggesting a correlation between increased accessibility to healthcare and school attendance.

St Joseph's of Cluny Kindergarten guides learners for the last time on Friday out of concern for the growing frailty of the Sisters who manage the institution.
Head teacher of 15 years Julie McClay said the Sisters of St Joseph Trust Board were aging and did not have any younger Sisters coming through to take the reigns.
"They're 80 plus so they can just relax and not have any financial worries down the track, " McClay said.
The Sisters of St Joseph of Cluny, a religious order founded in France, opened the kindergarten in 1954 to better serve their local congregation with early childhood education.
Among the first day pupils were the Bishop of Auckland, Bishop Patrick Dunn.
The initiative was so successful it led to the launch in 1960 of Cluny School, for primary students, which ran until 1981.
McClay describes the Sisters as "the unsung heroes."
They welcomed students with special needs and never turned away families who could not afford to pay their fees, she said.
"Whatever the need was we said, 'yes' and I think that's what we were about."
McClay said that over the years, she often heard primary school teachers remarking they could recognise the kindergarten's former students.
"I think it's (because of) the value system."
The children were given high expectations- and rose to them, she said.
"It was always done in a nurturing, loving environment at the pace of the child."
