Sound Scouts - Free Hearing Check for School Students K-12
An estimated 10% of schoolchildren suffer from hearing loss which left undetected can lead to speech, learning, and behavioural problems.
The Sound Scouts App provides an indication of a child's hearing health and generates an automated report that can be shared with parents. This report details the child's listening abilities, in quiet and in noise. It's game based so it's fun and easy to use. 570+ schools have now adopted using the App to help identify the increasing number of hearing issues in school-age students. The App is endorsed by Hearing Australia.

Attendance
Rollins Primary School recognises that being at school on time and attending every day contributes towards a student's learning and that maximising school attendance enhances academic outcomes.

Sustainability
We are currently collecting bread tags, bottle tops and old mobile phones at school. This not only saves these items from landfill, but helps others less fortunate than us.
Thank you to everyone for all of your bread tags so far - we have collected about 6 kilograms of tags that will be delivered to Urban Upcycle, where they will be passed on and help contribute to the purchase of wheelchairs in South Africa. Please continue to bring them in and place them in your classroom collection box.
We are also collecting bottle top lids. These lids are being turned into 3D plastic, which is then used to make prosthetic limbs for third world countries. Please place any lids you have in the box outside the office. There is also a box for any old mobile phones you no longer need or use.
