Auckland Regional Dental Services (ARDS)

Students at our school are looked after by the Auckland Regional Dental Services (ARDS) based out of the Papakura Child And Adolescent Community Dental Clinic located at 56 Beach Road Papakura 2113.

Students have to go to the clinic for appointments. You can contact the clinic directly on (09) 299 8112 to arrange appointments. Paper copies of the enrolment form are available in the school office. Enrolment forms need to be returned directly to the dental clinic. 

The Auckland Regional Dental Service (ARDS) is a Te Whatu Ora-operated service, which provides FREE dental care to children across greater Auckland. In order to prevent any eligible children missing out on receiving free dental care, ARDS is cross-checking their own records with school rolls.

For our children’s better oral health and wellbeing, our school roll will be shared with the service as required. The school will be sharing the following student information with ARDS: 

• Last name

• First Name

• Date of Birth

• Room Number

• Year Level

• Parent/caregiver’s name, phone number, email address and address
