Principal’s Report

Congratulations to Scarlett, Tilly and Adelaide on

a great effort at the Western Region Cross

Country last Wednesday.

K, 1-2 are off to Grenfell tomorrow with the

preschool to see the Gigalees. They need to bring

their morning tea and will be back in time for

lunch orders. Thanks to Kacie Cattle who is

transporting some students into Grenfell.

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at the

assembly and P&C Meeting on Thursday. The

assembly starts at 2:15 and will be followed by

the P&C meeting.

Good luck to Dana and Summer who are

representing our school in the Multicultural

Perspectives Public Speaking competition in

Dubbo next Monday. The girls will be presenting

their speeches at the assembly on Thursday.

Next week we have Isabel Pereira joining us for

work experience. Isabel is a year 10 student at

The Henry Lawson High School, she will be

Each week, on a Friday, students either help in the school kitchen or garden. K, 1 – 2 students enjoyed working with Mrs Ryan last Friday in the garden. Students picked fresh corn, carrots and peas. Thank you Mrs Ryan for teaching us how to grow and look after different types and varieties of vegetables. Left to right: Justin, Jane, Alexiah, Heidi and Ashton.

HEAD LICE We believe that head lice are present at the

school at the moment. Please ensure that you

check your children’s hair on a regular basis. If

there is any sign of head lice, please treat

immediately to stop them spreading to other

students and staff. For information on treatment

contact your local chemist. Please also discuss

ways of prevention – such as not sharing hats,

brushes and combs and hair bands.

The following information has been taken from

the NSW Department of Education webpage –

Health & Physical Care page.

The facts

head lice are one of the most commonly

reported health complaints from parents

and teachers

anyone can catch head lice regardless of

their age, sex, or how clean their hair is

head lice move from one person's head to

another via direct contact with the hair

head lice do not survive long when they

are off a human head

head lice do not live on furniture, hats,

bedding or carpet

head lice have built up some resistance to

head lice treatments

Tips for parents in reducing the spread

of head lice

As infestations are particularly common in

primary schools, it is best to choose a treatment

that can be used over time. There is no single

solution to eradication, only persistence.

regularly check your children's hair

teach older children to check their own

hair

tie back and braid long hair

keep a fine tooth head lice comb in the

bathroom and encourage all family

members to use it when they wash their

hair.
