It is that time of the year again when ‘Head Lice’ can go through the school. 

Christine Gillard —

Please check your child’s hair.

How to reduce the speed of head lice;

  • Brush hair daily.
  • For people with long hair it may be helpful to tie it up.
  • Everyone in the family should use their own brush and comb.

Treatment for head lice infection;

  • You will need to buy a special shampoo from your chemist or obtain a prescription from your family doctor.

Remember: Head lice is a common problem and is not a sign of poor personal hygiene.
