Year 7 Vision Screening

By Office | Posted: Thursday July 27, 2023

The Vision Hearing Technicians from the Population Health team, Southern District Health will be visiting our school to screen all Year 7 students for distance vision on 7 August, 2023.

 Distance Vision (Amblyopia & amp; Hyperopia)
This determines how well your child can see at a distance. It involves reading an eye chart (This free vision check is not required if the student wears glasses and/or is currently under care of an optometrist or eye specialist).

If you do not wish your child to be screened, please fill out an opt-out slip, which is available at the school office before our visit. If your child is already under-care / wears glasses you do not need to opt off as we will not be screening your child but will have a note for them to take home.
