School photos are scheduled for Monday 8th February. Individual student photos will be taken on this day for all students.

Parents and Carers,
Head lice has been detected in the school.
It is extremely important for you to check your child’s head for head lice.
If you do find head lice, commence treatment immediately and be sure to complete the process of treatment. This will help prevent head lice from spreading.
Remember to keep checking your family member’s heads every 2 days until there are no head lice found for 10 consecutive days.
For further information regarding treating head lice, refer to the Department of Health’s factsheet attached to this article.
Your local pharmacist can provide advice regarding head lice treatment options and head lice combs.
To reduce your child’s risk of getting head lice, make sure that long hair is tied up and discourage children from sharing their brushes and combs and having head to head contact with others.
Remember - Anyone can get head lice: they have no preferences for cleanliness, hair colour, hair type, ethnicity or age.
If, for any reason, you are having difficulties treating the head lice on your child effectively, please contact the school on telephone on 07 5555 3333.
