Glasses for Kids Program (Prep - Year 3)

This program provides free vision screening and, if needed, further testing plus free glasses to participating Prep to Year 3 students. State Schools Relief are proud to be partnered with this program.

When the program operates at our school, information will be sent home for families in Prep to Year 3 on the Glasses for Kids Program.

Parents/Carers will be requested to;

Read the information brochure provided
Complete the consent form and questionnaire
Return completed forms to the school by the date advised

Parents/carers are under no obligation to access this service, however we would encourage all children to participate.

Should glasses be required by your child, these are selected from the range provided by State Schools Relief, with no need for you to have a prescription filled elsewhere.

It's also important to note, that should you child already wear glasses, they can still access this program. If their glasses are less than 12 months old, a copy of their latest prescription (if available) would be beneficial to the visiting optometrist.

The Glasses for Kids Program was made available to Kingsley Park in 2025, and we hope to provdie this service annually.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (Following the glasses being supplied);

The students glasses are slipping, what can I do ?
A child's parent/guardian may be able to take the glasses to a local optometry clinic for adjustment. The partner clinic in Frankston is Vince LaRocca, 24 Wells Street Frankston (97839920)

Alternately a small supply of silicon ear hooks are available from the school office which may help with the comfort/slipping of glasses.

GFK will provide one replacement pair, within the first 12 months only. To order a replacement pair on behalf of a student, parents should email glasses@glassesforkids.com.au

Can the parent/guardian obtain a copy of the prescription ?
The students lens prescription can be found attached to the outside of the small bag the glasses arrived in. Should you require a digital copy, please email glasses@glassesforkids.com.au, including the students full name, date of birth and school they attend.
