Happy Lunar New Year! 

All the best to you all in the Year of the Dragon.

We wish all our families who celebrate this very important occasion a very Happy New Year!

We trust that you have been able to gather with family and friends to share delicious food and ancient traditions that have been carried through many generations. We hope you continue to enjoy the celebrations in the coming weeks.

Many of our students have been sharing their knowledge about this significant 15 day celebration with their teachers and peers. Here are some photos of the artwork displayed in some of our classrooms.

You Hao the Friendly Dragon

You Hao means friendly in Mandarin. As it is the Year of the Dragon, this little dragon spent some time with the Pre-Primary classes encouraging friendship and cooperation.  He will continue on to visit Kindy and Year 1 classes in the coming weeks.

Willetton Dental Therapy Centre

Throughout Western Australia, the School Dental Service provides free general and preventive dental care for school-age children from Pre-Primary to Year 11 (or before 17 years of age) who have completed a dental enrolment form. 

Children from our school can access this service through the Willetton Dental Therapy Centre, situated in the Willetton Primary School. If you prefer, children transferring to our school can continue to access dental care through their previous Dental Therapy Centre.

Please notify your Dental Centre of your change in school and update your contact details. As appointments are often posted to your home, it’s important to notify the Centre of any change to your postal address or contact details.

Willetton Dental Therapy Centre can be contacted at 9457 4624
