Let's fight them together - 'once a week, take a peek'.
Unfortunately we seem to be experiencing an ongoing problem with head lice and need everyone's support in this matter. Can we please ask that everyone checks their child/children's hair on a regular basis to help combat this problem. Head lice are a normal part of young family life and are nothing to be embarrassed, panicked or ashamed about. They are an established part of school life. Head lice are live insects, their empty eggs are called nits. Lice are wingless insects that hold onto the hair, feeding from the blood on the head. They spread through close contact but contrary to common belief, they do not jump. They do not spread disease and can pass from adults to children and back again. Can we thank you in advance for your continued support and ask you to follow the advice of 'once a week, take a peek'. If you need further advice please contact our school nurse on 829889 or go to the website: www.onceaweektakeapeek.com
