Smile Squad is on the way to our school!

All children deserve a healthy smile and the Smile Squad are coming to Old Orchard Primary School to help make sure this happens.

Smile Squad is a $321.9 million Victorian Government program that provides free dental care to all Victorian public primary and secondary school students.

The friendly Smile Squad dental team will visit Old Orchard soon to conduct a free annual dental health examination for every student and provide free follow up treatment as needed.

What do parents need to do?

We just need you to provide consent. Please read and sign the consent forms that will come home with your child next week and return them to the classroom teacher.

The Smile Squad team will then check your child’s teeth and mouth and show them how to keep their teeth healthy and strong. They will also provide any preventive services you have consented for. If your child needs more treatment, the Smile Squad will contact you.

Who is Smile Squad?

The bright orange Smile Squad vans are staffed by experienced oral health therapists, dental therapists, dental assistants and dentists. They all have lots of experience treating children and a passion for improving their oral health – for life.

Learn more about the Smile Squad by visiting www.smilesquad.vic.gov.au or contact the team at smilesquad@dhsv.org.au.

Art Room Donations

Our Art teacher, Heidi, is calling for the following donations:

- Newspapers

- Magazines

- Round plastic lids like margarine and ice cream containers (great for tracing around)

Please drop any donations at the office, or ask your child to take them to Heidi in the art room. Thank you!

Next time you shop at Rebel, please consider linking your membership to Old Orchard Primary School. It won't cost you a thing, but can help earn valuable points to enable our school to buy new, much needed sporting equipment.
