Good hearing is essential for learning, and thanks to the Our Healthy Kids program, Year 6 students at Bowen Public School in Orange had the opportunity to receive on-site hearing and vision checks—right at school!
Our Western Health Educator, Aaron, also known as the Ear Check Guru, made it easy for students to have their hearing assessed without needing to travel to a clinic. Early detection of hearing issues can make a big difference in a child’s ability to focus, participate, and succeed in school.
A big thank you to the Orange Aboriginal Medical Service for helping make these checks accessible. By bringing health services directly to schools, we’re ensuring every child has the best chance to learn and thrive!
