Dear Parents and Carers

Aboriginal Otitis Media and Aural Health Program

Katungul Aboriginal Medical Service will be visiting our school on the 5, 6 and 7 December in Week 9. They will be offering a service to check the hearing of all Aboriginal children attending our school. The screening checks are very simple and will be carried out during the school day in the office area. If the test indicate any problem that may need to be followed up parents will be contacted. Parental consent forms for this service will be sent home tomorrow with the eldest child in the family to be returned by Friday 3 December.
