Premier's Reading Challenge
If your child has been participating in this year's Premier's Reading Challenge, it is finishing soon, on Friday September 8th. All students who complete the challenge receive a Certificate from Victorian Premier, Daniel Andrews, so make the most of the coming four weeks and happy reading!
From Sophie in Sickbay...
There seems to be a spate of Head Lice in the school at the moment, with a number of classes handing out the dreaded "red notices" over the past several weeks.
Please regularly check your child's hair for live lice or nits (eggs) and treat appropriately if any are found. If your child has hair longer than collar-length, please have their hair tied back during school hours - this is a simple and effective way to minimise spread.
Children are free to return to school once hair has been treated, but please be aware that a second treatment (four days later) should be carried out to catch any missed nit hatchings.
