Hi Parents of our Big Sing Singers

 

Dr Ferrar has decided to be kind to our singers and let them come in late on Friday morning, due to the late night tonight. They don’t need to be at school until 11am.

 

Blessings

Head Lice Notice

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

We have been made aware of a case of head lice (nits) at school. Head lice are a common issue among school-aged children and are not related to cleanliness or hygiene.

We ask that you please check your child's hair and scalp carefully over the next few days. Pay particular attention to the area behind the ears and around the nape of the neck, where lice and eggs (nits) are often found.

If you discover that your child has head lice, please begin treatment as soon as possible and remove any eggs according to the instructions provided with the treatment product. Children can return to school once treatment has been started.

Regular checking at home helps prevent the spread of head lice within our classroom community. Thank you for your cooperation and support in helping us manage this issue.

If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact the school.

Kind regards
Totara College Staff
