Dental Service Visit in Term 3
One of our Community Dental Service vans will be making a visit to your school soon.
Only the children who currently require a check-up will be seen at this visit.
Please do not be concerned if your child is not called for a check-up this time.
The dental therapist will provide regular check-ups and preventative care which may include:
Cleaning/Scaling (to remove plaque from teeth)
Dental x-rays (to check for decay in teeth, or presence and position of teeth)
Fluoride Varnish (painted on teeth to help prevent decay)
Fissure Sealants (coating put on teeth to prevent decay) if required.
If your child requires any other dental care, they will bring home a ‘Care Plan’ which will explain
what dental care and appointment times are required.
When you receive the ‘Care Plan’ please contact our Call Centre as soon as possible as you will
need to arrange a time to bring your child to one of our Community Clinics for this dental care.
Please contact our Call Centre if you want further information on the Community Dental Service, to enrol your child or if you have any specific questions about your child’s dental care (a dental
therapist will call you back)
Year 8 students: all year 8 students enrolled with the Community Dental Service are transferred
from the Community Dental Service to a FREE private dentist from year 9 until their 18th birthday.
To help with this transition please ensure you have informed your child of their family dentist (not
orthodontist). This will enable us to transfer your child onto the correct dentist for year 9 onwards.
More information will be sent home after their year 8 check-up.
To contact our Call Centre: phone 0800 846 983 / email commdental@cdhb.health.nz

We Care Day
Our We Care Day on the 27th of June led to much laughter, smiles and positive feelings! Each hub undertook activities focused on showing kindness to others. Some children created role plays showing kindness, while others got creative and made cards, posters or cooked items to share. We also worked on identifying what was special about our peers and paying compliments to others. Showing we care for ourselves and others is a key part of Beckenham Te Kura, and it is important for our wellbeing, or hauora. |

Hillview Cross Country Challenge
On Tuesday 2nd July, approximately 30 children from Y0 - 4 went to compete in the Hillview Cross Country Challenge. There were over 380 students from 17 different schools competing on the day and we were spoilt with the wonderful weather. The children confidently demonstrated our school value, ‘We Love Challenge’ in the way they all did their personal best and it was great to see them encouraging and supporting each other as they raced. Thank you to all the parents who assisted on the day by walking down and supporting the children when they were not competing. our recent invite to Hillview Cross-country went spectacularly! Out of the 30 runners who went from our school many of them placed in the top 10-12 out of approximately 45 - 50+ other runners for each grade! |
