News from the Deputy Principal—Week 5

From God’s Word

Psalm 23 You, Lord, are my shepherd. I will never be in need. 2 You let me rest in fields of green grass. You lead me to streams of peaceful water, 3 and you refresh my life. You are true to your name, and you lead me along the right paths. 4 I may walk through valleys as dark

as death, but I won’t be afraid. You are with me, and your shepherd’s rod makes me feel safe. 5 You treat me to a feast, while my enemies watch. You honour me as your guest, and you fill my cup until it overflows. 6 Your kind-ness and love will always be with me each day of my life, and I will live

forever in your house, Lord.

These words are such a comfort

to all, God’s love is so great. He is

always looking out for us and is a

steady comfort for us in times of

trouble. Think about these words

over the next fortnight and know

that God is always with you.

Oral Health Services NT encourages all Territorians to take the first step on

the road to good oral health by following the five key oral health messages of

“stay, play, brush, eat and drink well”. These messages focus on en-

couraging regular dental check-ups; wearing mouth guards when playing con-

tact sports; twice daily brushing; eating healthy food; and drinking lots of wa-

ters.

All Territorian families can access dental services by either contacting their

private dentist or for eligible clients, the public dental service at Oral Health

Services NT. Children of families receiving the Family Tax Benefits are also

eligible to access the $1000 of dental treatment available through the Child

Dental Benefit Scheme. This can be done either through the family’s private

dentist or through the Public Dental service.

In Alice Springs, families with children from birth to 18 years who attend

school, can access public dental services by phoning 89516713
