Teeth on Wheels

We’re excited to announce that Teeth On Wheels will be returning to our School on September 10th 2026.

Teeth On Wheels makes dental care easy, fun and completely stress-free for children—right here at school. No time off work, no after-school appointments, just quality care in a familiar environment.

They specialise in working with children and offer services including check-ups, cleans and more. Their team is also specially trained to support neurodiverse patients, ensuring every child feels comfortable, safe and cared for.

If your child has already participated this year, there’s no need to complete the form again unless your contact details or your child’s medical history has changed.

If eligible under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), your child may receive FREE dental care, making this a valuable and accessible service for families.

To secure your child’s place, simply complete the E-form by the cut-off date September 3rd 2026.

Attendance - Unexplained Absences

Could parents/carers please check their Compass app for any unexplained absences and follow the steps to add an attendance note. Alternatively, you can contact the office and we can enter an absent note on your behalf.

2026 Parent Payments Reminder

Schools provide students with free instruction to fulfil the standard curriculum requirements and we want to assure you that all contributions are voluntary. Nevertheless, the ongoing support of our families ensures that our school can offer the best possible education and support for our students.

The environment and resources that we enjoy at Lancefield Primary School represent the contributions made by our parent and carers. Parent/carer voluntary contributions make a significant difference to the quality of our programs. This financial support ensures that we can continue to provide the excellent range of facilities and resources for your children for example:

Provide high quality programs and specific subject materials and equipment for English, Mathematics, STEM, Art, Topics, Auslan and PE;
Maintain sufficient class sets of books for students to develop their reading skills including phonics program;
Provide online learning subscriptions as well as Oliver library system;
Arrange for student supplies and class bulk supplies;
Develop our Wellbeing School Wide Positive Behaviour approaches including Kimochis;
Maintain our high quality, bespoke SAKG Prep-6 program.

We want to thank you for all your support, either financial or volunteering your time. This has made a huge difference to our school and the programs we can offer. If you have yet to contribute this year, we strongly encourage you to do so.

If you are unable or choose not to make financial contributions, your child will not be disadvantaged or denied access to the resources required to deliver the curriculum.

Conveyance Allowance

Conveyance allowance is a contribution towards transport costs and is not intended to cover the full cost of transporting children to and from school.

The conveyance allowance may be available to students attending government or non-government schools and:

travelling by public transport or by private car, motorbike, bicycle or bus, and
whose nearest school is not serviced by a free school bus provided under the School Bus Program

To be eligible for the conveyance allowance a student must reside 4.8km or more from the school/campus they attend. This distance is measured as the shortest practicable route from the student’s residence to the school/campus using all-weather public roads drivable by car.

The Student Conveyance Allowance System (SCAS) assesses this eligibility criteria by:

determining the shortest route between the student’s address and the school/campus attended (whereas other public mapping tools commonly measure the shortest travel time)
producing a table showing distances to nearby like schools, for comparison, which assists schools to determine whether the student is attending their nearest school/campus.

The distance measured does not include private driveways.

Applications can be completed using the form below and submitted to the school by the following dates:
