School News
Dear Families,
Final Reminder!
Teeth on Wheels will be visiting our school on December 8th 2025 to provide dental check-ups and oral health education to students.
If you haven’t completed your child’s consent form yet, please do so before the deadline:
Click here to sign up – IT MIGHT BE FREE!
CUT OFF DATE FOR COMPLETEING YOUR CHILD’S FORM IS ON THE December 3rd 2025.
Why are 6-monthly dental check-ups important?
Regular six-monthly check-ups help catch issues early, before they become painful or costly. They also support healthy development of teeth and gums, and reinforce positive dental habits in children from an early age — all in a familiar and stress-free school environment.
Once your form is submitted, the Teeth on Wheels team will be in touch to schedule your child’s appointment and confirm eligibility for FREE dental care under the Child Dental Benefit Schedule (CDBS).
If you have any questions, please contact the Teeth on Wheels team directly at (03) 9338 1191.
Hay fever
Grass pollen is the main outdoor allergen during spring and early summer. Each year, from 1 October to 31 December, high pollen days can trigger hay fever and asthma symptoms. What you can do this season:
- Check the daily forecast
- Follow your treatment plan: If you have been prescribed a preventer or hay fever medication or carry an asthma inhaler, make sure you are using them as directed.
- Prepare for high pollen days: Keep windows and doors closed, and consider staying indoors if pollen levels are high.
- Stay alert for thunderstorms: Combined with high pollen counts, storms can rapidly worsen symptoms, especially for people with asthma.
Snakes
As the weather warms up, please be aware that snake activity will increase in the Miners Rest area. We urge the community to remain vigilant when outdoors, especially in grassy or bushy areas.
