Smile Squad School Dental Program
Dear Parents/Carers,
As you might be aware, we have had the School Dental Program - ‘Smile Squad’ – attend our school to give the students information on good dental health, undertake dental examinations and, where required, organise follow-up treatment. While the program is voluntary, many of you consented for your child/children to participate in the Smile Squad program.
To better understand the delivery of the Smile Squad program including benefits and challenges, an independent firm (Abt Global) has been engaged to evaluate the program. This is your opportunity to provide feedback on your experience of the program. If you didn’t consent for your child/children to participate in Smile Squad they are also keen to hear from you. The evaluation team want to understand why you chose not to participate. So, whether you participated or not, this is an opportunity to provide feedback so that improvements can be made to the Smile Squad program.
To participate in the evaluation, you can complete a confidential 5–10-minute survey. The survey does not require you to provide any information to the evaluation team that identifies you, however the survey does ask what school your child/children attend. Here is the link to the survey.

We encourage you to participate in this short survey and provide valuable feedback on Smile Squad. If you would like to provide more detailed feedback to the evaluation team, please contact Eleanor at smilesquad_eval@abtglobal.com .

Victorian Coding Challenge
Dear Parents, Carers and the Robbie Mac community,
We are excited to share that Robbie Mac will once again be participating in the prestigious Victorian Coding Challenge run by Mathematics Australia, on Thursday, October 31st, and hoping to defend our title.
This initiative is a fantastic opportunity for our school to engage with an event that not only showcases our students' coding talents but also fosters teamwork and healthy competition.
All students in grades 5 and 6 were invited to participate in Stage 1 challenges during lunchtime at school, requiring students to apply coding and algorithmic thinking in order to solve problems. Eight children from Stage 1have been chosen to represent the school in stage 2, after participating in a rigorous process that assessed their coding abilities, attendance at lunchtime practices, teamwork skills, and enthusiasm. Congratulations to Celine, Zoe, Robin, Ethan G, Lac, Coen, Dylan G and Dylan C.
Our involvement in this competition reflects our commitment to extending curious minds and nurturing passions
We can’t wait to see how our talented representatives will shine in this exciting competition!
Warm regards,
Ms Browne
