Headlice

Head lice infection has been reported this week. If your child seems to be scratching his/her head or complaining about feeling itchy, then a thorough check is warranted!

Please check your children’s hair carefully and treat them if necessary. Head lice are spread easily, so it is important to act immediately they are discovered. Remember that a second treatment after 7 days is essential.

Head lice are annoying, but their spread can be minimised if every family is vigilant about checking for them and thorough when treating an infection. Please make sure long hair is tied back off as this helps minimise the spread.

It is important to advise the school if headlice are detected. Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.
