After 59 years, Gerry has decided to slow things down and enjoy his mornings and afternoons closer to home, no longer completing the school bus run. A huge thank you to Gerry for his incredible service to our students and rural families—always ensuring they were transported safely and never hesitating to lend a hand when needed. We will truly miss his friendly wave and chats along the way.🥳💐

Due to the weather forecast, the decision has been made to cancel the Interschool Swimming Carnival scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday 26 March 2026. This was a difficult decision, however, given the unpredictable nature of Cyclone Narelle, we believe this is the safest course of action.
School will operate as normal.
Thank you for your understanding.

Head lice

Head lice are tiny insect parasites that live on your head and feed on your scalp. Head lice are spread by head-to-head contact with another person who has head lice. This kind of contact includes doing group work, playing, or hugging.

Tips for preventing head lice

· Check your child’s hair regularly for head lice and eggs (‘nits’). Use a metal fine tooth ‘nit’ comb and plenty of hair conditioner applied to the dry hair, to make the task easier and more effective. To help children sit still for this, offer distracting activities, e.g. play a favourite video, provide games, iPad apps, offer a head massage.

· Tie long hair back. Braid long hair and/or put it up if possible.

· Consider applying hair gel or mousse. These do not prevent or repel lice but may help to keep stray hair strands from contact with other heads.

· Avoid sharing combs or brushes.

· Remind your child to avoid head-to-head contact with other children, e.g. when working at the computer with others, or when playing, or hugging.

If your child has head lice please notify the teacher.
