Inclusion Week is a dedicated time to celebrate diversity, promote understanding, and foster a school culture where all students feel valued and included regardless of ability. Throughout the week, we highlight the importance of inclusive practices in education by engaging students and staff in activities that promote empathy, collaboration, and accessibility. Inclusion is not just about physical presence in the classroom; it’s about ensuring every student has the support, opportunities, RELATIONSHIPS, and respect they need to thrive. By embracing inclusion, we strengthen our community and create a learning environment where everyone belongs.

Why is oral health important? 

• Globally, between 60-90% of school children experience cavities in their teeth.
• Research shows that the earlier children learn about good oral health, the better their long-term oral health will be.
• Poor oral health has been shown to impact factors such as performance at school, social skills, and self-esteem.

Here are some tips to help promote good oral care:

1. Brush your teeth at least twice a day- Use fluoride toothpaste and brush once in the morning and once at night. 
2. Limit sugary snacks and drinks- Remember to eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Drink more water and milk. 
3. Visit your dentist twice a year to help keep your teeth and gums healthy. 
4. Floss regularly to help remove plaque between your teeth. 
5. Change your toothbrush every 3 months- If the bristles on your toothbrush are looking worn, they won’t remove as much plaque.
