At this time of year we tend to see an increase in headlice cases across many schools in Canberra. We are no exceptation and now have cases right across the school. It is really important to check your child/rens hair. If they have signs of headlice/eggs, it is important to keep them home and fully treat before returning. If children come back to school where treatment has not been followed through, the cycle starts again with other children getting them also. 

Please read this information from NSW Health regarding prevention and treatment. Thank you
