As part of Dental Health Week 2025, our school came together for a fun and engaging whole-school teeth brushing event in the gym, led by our school nurse Hayley. This health education activity was not only entertaining but also a great way to promote good oral hygiene habits and support student wellbeing.

The event aligns with the Australian Dental Association’s campaign and DECYP’s focus on engagement, belonging, and preventative health. It was a simple yet powerful way to reinforce healthy daily routines in a fun, community-focused setting.

Students were buzzing with excitement during and after the activity:

• “I can’t believe we get to take the toothbrush home!”

• “It smells so minty in the gym.”

• “When I brush my teeth my whole body wiggles!”

• “I usually brush my teeth by myself, today I brushed them with my whole class!”

A special shoutout to the teachers who were ‘volunteered’ to join in, students were absolutely thrilled to see their teachers brushing along with them!

A huge thank you to Oral Health Services Tasmania for generously donating all the toothbrushes and toothpaste. Thanks to their support every student was able to take home a toothbrush!
