The Newlands Times

Wellbeing and Engagement

Don't forget to bring your hat to school every day.

Headlice Awareness 

Return to school has also meant the return of headlice. Please continue to check your child's hair regularly and treat any eggs or lice found. Contact Sonya if you need support with this.

 

Some amazing lice facts:

  • Up to 30% of all Primary school-aged kids in Australia get head lice at least once a year
  • Head lice prefer clean hair over dirty hair
  • "Super Lice" have become resistant to common over the counter treatments
  • Selfies are assisting lice to spread

Secondhand Uniforms

Unfortunately we will not be able to hold a secondhand uniform sale before the end of the year. We will be collecting donations of good quality used uniforms on Monday 14th December. Collection boxes will be available at each entry to the school. 

We will hold the sale in the first week of term 1 2021, if restrictions are lifted.

Please do not send secondhand uniforms to the office. 

 

If your child is not returning to Newlands next year, contact the office to arrange donating used clothing.

 

Misplaced Property

 

Please ensure that all items of clothing, lunchboxes and drink bottles are clearly labelled with your child's name. Names wash off easily and need to be checked regularly. Items cannot be returned to your child if they are not named.

 

Please be aware that our students will usually find any items misplaced within their classroom, OHSC or in the playground around where they were last playing. Please ask them to look in the areas where they have been working and playing, if they have misplaced something.
