Dental Van for Schools
Many of our students took advantage of the free dental service this term. At the dental check-ups the dentist assesses children for early signs of gum disease, tooth decay, bone damage and other dental issues. Dental check-ups are crucial for maintaining healthy teeth, gums and overall oral health. If your child didn't get a chance to visit the Dental Van and you would like your child to see the dentist, please call (08) 7084 2141 for an appointment.

COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS
Community Connections aims to support people experiencing loneliness and disconnection to create new social connections that are meaningful to them and /or remove barriers to existing connections. Participants of the program will work with our program Team Leader across 12 weeks to help identify and articulate their connection goals and receive tailored support to achieve these. Support may include helping people to get involved in local community activities, finding new support groups, meeting their neighbours, volunteering or get some extra help at home to meet their connection goals.
This is a free service. We welcome all people to inquire about the program, including First Nations people and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
