HEADLICE
There have recently been a few outbreaks of head lice in school and we would ask that parents please take action to regularly check for head lice and take appropriate action to clear them if found. 
If everyone does this over the holidays we should be able to return to a head lice free school!
We would also encourage that long hair is tied back in school as this is one way that may help to reduce the spread between children. 

PREMIER SPORTS SUMMER COURSES…
