Senior School Mobile Dental Van Checkups

Martin Vale Dentistry Mobile Dental Van will be onsite conducting dental checkups for Senior School students on 2, 3 and 4 September. If you would like your child to participate, please complete this linked form.

The Commonwealth Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) allows eligible children basic dental treatment over a two-year period. This can be accessed during school hours via the services of a school dental van.

School dental vans are fully equipped to perform examinations, x-rays, fillings, scaling, and cleaning, as well as apply preventive medicaments and extractions.

The process: First visit - Students eligible for CDBS receive an examination, x-rays, fluoride and fissure sealant. Parents are then contacted by phone to discuss a treatment plan if required. Students not eligible for CDBS funding receive dental screening, and parents are contacted by phone to discuss if a private appointment is recommended.

Follow-up visit - Students undergo the treatment plan discussed and consented to. Parents are welcome to attend the van while their child has treatment.

Second-Hand Uniform Shop:Now seeking volunteers for Term Three

In Term Three, the shop will be trialling a new afternoon opening time of 2:30 to 3:30pm on Thursdays in addition to the existing hours of 8:15 to 9:00am on Tuesdays and Fridays.

We will be deciding whether to formally implement Thursday afternoons into our regular opening hours based on customer demand and volunteer availability.

To sign up as a volunteer, please follow the instructions on the page linked below. Any queries may be directed to Alicia Stroud (aliciaas89@yahoo.com.au). Thank you for volunteering!
