Dental Health

Dental disease, including tooth decay, can impact nutrition, growth, and development in children, and can negatively influence a child’s quality of life.  Children who have dental disease often continue to have poor oral health as adults. (Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne)

Attendance ~

Did you know that if your child has below 90% attendance, it is extremely difficult to make progress in their learning? We encourage 96% attendance, at minimum, for the best chance to learn and progress.

If students are unable to attend, please notify the school by calling the office at 5484 1797 or logging their absence on PAM. If an absence is not reported, you will receive a text message by 10:00 am. 

Thank you for your support in ensuring strong attendance enabling a smooth, positive school learning experience.
