Headlice 

Multiple cases of head lice have been reported across the grades, please do your part to prevent the spread of this communicable condition by checking your child(ren) daily for the next few weeks, and on a regular basis thereafter. 

If your child has head lice it is important that they are excluded from school until the day after they have started a suitable treatment, to minimise further outbreaks.  

Follow the manufactures’ instructions on the use of head lice products, there are some amazing natural and medicated treatments on the market.  With all treatments they need to be done on day 1 again at 7 days then again at 14 days to stop the head lice life cycle. 

It is also highly recommended to treat the whole family including washing all bed linen, hats/beanies/scarves and hair brushes/combs etc. including comforters like teddies and blankets.

Thank you for your help in stopping the spread of headlice.
