Head Lice - Easy to catch hard to eradicate!

Yaldhurst Secretary —

The office has been advised that some students have head lice. It is important that if your child/ren have long hair to have it tied back in a ponytail or a braid at school.

Encourage your child not to share hats, hair brushes or hair accessories, even though they want to share their belongings with friends.

For more information on head lice and how to treat, please see the following Ministry of Health link: http://www.health.govt.nz/your-health/conditions-and-treatments/diseases-and-illnesses/head-lice 

Please do not leave head lice untreated as it easily transfers to students and adults.  Thank you.
