Head Lice

A case of head lice has been reported within our primary school community today. 

Head lice are spread mostly by direct head-to-head contact but may also be spread by sharing hats, combs and other hair accessories.  

Anyone can get head lice. 

Please refer to the head lice prevention and treatment fact sheet for information on head lice, how to check, treatment and prevention.  

Head lice are much easier to treat if caught early.  

To prevent the spread of head lice, you should check your child(ren) daily over the next 3 weeks and regularly thereafter. 

Please inform the school or preschool if your child presents with head lice and make sure they are treated before returning.

Lunch Orders for Swimming Carnival Due Today

Spriggy Lunch Orders are due today for the Swimming Carnival.  Please give Michelle a call at the school if you are having trouble.

Tip for children in Year 3 and above:

1. Go to settings in your Spriggy App

2. Select your child

3. Change their year level from class to age bracket, then save.

4. Return to the menu & select an event; Carnival Menu should be visible.

5. Remember to change this back to the year level when it is complete to continue ordering for Toastie Tuesday.

My apologies for the confusion; we are still on a learning journey.

Reminder to Return all Consent Forms

Students were all given consent forms for swimming and local excursions earlier in the week. Can they please be signed and returned to the office ASAP? If you haven't seen any forms, please speak to your child's teacher or call the office to collect another set.
