           LIONS CLUBS HEARING AND VISION TESTS

 

                     FOR CHILDREN AGED  3.5 TO 6 YEARS OF AGE

 

 

 

Dear Parents,

 

Like many other Lions Clubs across Victoria, Northcote Lions Club is offering pre-schoolers and prep children (3.5 – 6 years) hearing screening AND Vision screening tests as part of its community service program.

 

Students under supervision from Melbourne University’s Audiology and Optometry Departments will carry out the play-based testing, and parents will be informed immediately and referred to their GP if hearing or Vision abnormalities are detected.

 

Early detection of hearing and vision loss is critical for the development of normal speech and language skills. Statistics indicate that around 3% of children tested are found to have difficulties.

 

These tests are FREE OF CHARGE, and will be held between 9.00 am and 4 pm on

 

                           Saturday 10th May 2025 

             at Wales Street Primary School, Thornbury

 

Entry and parking are from Clyde Street.

 

Testing can take up to 40 minutes, and One parent or guardian must be present with each child.
