Onsite Dental Service

Lilydale High School is collaborating with Smiles Onsite to promote healthier, happier smiles at our school.

 

This incredible service is being offered for FREE under the federal government's Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), and comes along with the chance to grab some amazing prizes.

 

Over the coming weeks all students will be given a consent form to bring home so that they can participate, and also so that they can go in the draw to win prizes!!

 

How does it work?

The Child Dental Benefit Schedule grants all eligible parents with $1000 worth of Medicare towards dental per child, over a two-year period. Eligible parents should receive a confirmation letter; however if you are still unsure, Smiles Onsite can check for you on completion of their consent form.

 

Can I make use of this service if I'm not eligible?

Of course! Smiles Onsite can do almost everything that your local dentist can do on board there state-of-the-art mobile Clinic. If you would like them to see your child for a scale and clean, fillings, fissure seals etc., these services can be offered with NO GAP payable.

 

This service is a great opportunity to get kids into the habit of good oral hygiene, and we hope you're as excited about it as we are!

Parent Information Night

Academic and Mental Health Support Strategies – Year 10, 11 and 12 students

 

Wednesday 2 May

7.00 pm

Performing Arts Theatre 

  • Do you have a student undertaking Year 10 or VCE?
  • Do you want some strategies to help your student cope with challenges of senior school?
  • Have you noticed a change in their attitude or behaviour?

For many students especially those in the senior years, the coming months see them experience many new challenges in school, friendships and personal lives.  Many are-faced with balancing the responsibilities of deadlines and obligations in all aspects of their lives.

 

 

As parents/guardians, we want to assist them, but at times do not fully understand or know the strategies to help.   We invite all Parents and Guardians to attend a free information night, which will focus on giving you the strategies to assist your student through this time.

 

Elevate, who are currently running similar student information sessions for our VCE students, will present information on best practice and achieving VCE success to parents.  

 

 

Along with this, Amanda Jenkins, an experienced Mental Health Social Worker and Family Therapist from Inspiro Community Health Service will be discussing how to look after yours and your students’ mental health and well-being.  Amanda will also discuss more serious mental health disorders such as Anxiety, including the signs, symptoms and where to get support within your local community.

 

For more information or to RSVP please contact Student Services on 03 9735 5644 or studentservices@lilydalehs.vic.edu.au
