The Australian government has an initiative for schools to have access to mobile Dental clinic services.
NSW Dental Care is offering free dental screenings to children at Rydalmere Public School from 3rd June – 7th June.
The dental screening is free of charge for eligible students aged 2-17 and provides benefits for the child for basic dental services that includes:
· Dental examination
· Dental X-rays
· Preventive Oral Care, such as oral hygiene assistance, cleaning of teeth and the application of fluoride to the teeth.
This service is provided under the Child Dental Benefits Scheme of the Australian Government.
Early detection of decay and other dental disease is vital in preventing bigger, more painful and expensive problems in the future. Left untreated, dental disease is progressive and will result in greater discomfort and is likely lead to permanent problems, such as tooth loss or lasting pain.
Attached is a link to the online consent form if you would like your child to participate. https://nswdentalcare.com.au/parental-consent-form-schools/ . Please complete this form by Friday 24th May. This falls under the Medicare – Child Dental Benefits Scheme, so parents will need to provide their Medicare number on the online consent form.
This year our school has registered to participate in the NSW Premier’s Sporting Challenge. The purpose of the challenge is to encourage students to participate in sport and physical activity to lead a healthy lifestyle. Over a ten week period 30th April to 5th July Rydalmere Public School Years K-6 will be monitoring physical activity levels during class time, at recess and lunch as well as during sport lessons. Physical activity outside school hours will also count towards the Challenge award.
THE PREMIER’S SPORTING CHALLENGE IS NOT A COMPETITON, IT’S ABOUT GETTING ACTIVE AND DOING YOUR PERSONAL BEST.At the end of the year each student who participated and completed their logbook will receive a Premier’s Sporting Challenge Award. The award they receive will reflect the average amount physical minutes per day they achieved. See below:
Students completing the Challenge will receive a personalised certificate (Diamond, Gold, Silver or Bronze), signed by the Premier of New South Wales.
Physical activity is valued for its physical, social and emotional benefits. It also helps young people to develop communication skills, confidence and resilience. We would like to invite families to support us in encouraging students’ healthy use of leisure time and to experience the joy of being active together.
