From the Office
Urgent Call OUT
If you have any tracksuits / trousers sizes 6-8 in good condition that you are willing to donate to the school, please send to the office ASAP. With wintery conditions still upon us, we have many students coming to the office with wet/muddy clothes and our supply of dry trousers is running OUT!
CHURCH DRIVEWAY PARKING…
A reminder not to park in front of the garage attached to the Parish house across the road from the cemetery, even if it just for 5 minutes. Access is required for the people who live in the house and they frequently come and go from this area. We are aware there are a limited number of parking spaces around the school however this area is not to be blocked. Be mindful of the inconvenience if it was your driveway being blocked and you needed to get in or out…..
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
SMILE SQUAD AT WOODEND PRIMARY
The Smile Squad team from Dental Health Services Victoria is not able to visit the school this year for dental checks, however they have supplied a dental pack for each student at school. This pack will be sent home with students in the next day or so.
From Smile Squad
Smile Squad dental packs...
All children deserve a healthy smile, and the Smile Squad free school dental program is working hard to help make sure this happens.
Your child(ren) will soon receive a free dental pack to bring home. The dental pack contains a toothbrush, full sized toothpaste, and an oral health brochure. Please take the time to read the brochure. It’s full of helpful hints and tips to help your whole family eat well, drink well and clean well – for life.
Standard strength toothpaste
Smile Squad provides standard strength fluoride toothpaste that is generally used by ages six and over, unless recommended by a dental or trained health professional.
If your child is under six, please talk to a dental or trained health professional to find out if your child might benefit from using this toothpaste. You can also choose to put the toothpaste away until they turn six or give it to someone else in your family to use.
About Smile Squad
Smile Squad is a Victorian Government program that provides free dental care to all Victorian government primary and secondary school students.
We will let you know when Smile Squad will be coming to our school to provide dental examinations. Although Smile Squad is not visiting our school just yet, you can access free dental for students by calling your local community dental clinic Sunbury Cobaw Community Health and asking for a Smile Squad appointment.
