Tooth Wagon Coming to Kildare Campus
We are excited to welcome the Tooth Wagon mobile dental service to Kildare Campus for the first time on Thursday 29 and Friday 30 October 2026.
The Tooth Wagon partners with schools across Victoria to provide convenient dental care without students needing to leave school grounds. Students can receive dental check-ups, cleaning and fluoride applications.
If applicable and with appropriate permission from parents or carers - X-rays, fillings and fissure sealants may also be offered.
For students eligible under the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), services are bulk-billed through Medicare. Families of students who are not eligible will be contacted directly by Tooth Wagon to discuss available private treatment options before treatment proceeds.
Any Kildare student is welcome to participate. Families wishing to access the service are asked to complete the online consent form by Friday 9 October.

Support Former Student - Olivia Batchelor
2026 College Captain, Olivia is currently studying a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Melbourne whilst residing at Trinity College. She will be travelling to the Tiwi Islands from 21 November - 14 December as a part of Trinity College Service Trip in coordination with Tiwi College.
During this trip, she will be living in the boarding houses with Tiwi College on Melville Island. Across three weeks, the group will be assisting teachers, working with students in classrooms and learning about the Tiwi culture through first-hand community engagements. She is currently fundraising to help cover the cost of participating, and is also hoping to be able to donate items such as equipment, books and artwork to the College when she goes.
Olivia credits St Joseph’s College in helping to build her confidence and leadership from her roles as House Captain and School Captain and helped shape her commitment to contributing to a community. Without St Joseph’s she said she wouldn’t be where she is today, let alone be able to have this incredible experience.
Her fundraising link can be found here: https://charidy.com/trinitytiwi/olivia
Any support would mean a great deal to her.
