NSW primary schools did give students a few annual health checks in the ’80s and ’90s. There were hearing checks, visual acuity checks, colourblindness checks, and a few other things. I think they did weigh students, but don’t quote me on it as I could be mistaken. However, it didn’t appear on report cards. I think it was only ever used for referring a student to a medical specialist, or for welfare checks in extreme cases.
