HALCOMBE SCHOOL
" Today for Tomorrow "

Head lice are an on-going issue at ALL schools and many students will be affected
at one time or another! We sympathise with families that have to deal with head lice
and we appreciate their efforts in controlling them.

We will check children’s hair if we suspect head lice are present – we request consent at Enrolment for this to be done. Students will bring home a notice about the outcome of any checks or we will contact you. A child with adult head lice may be sent home and asked to stay home until the lice are properly treated.

Here's some helpful tips on how to identify and treat head lice:

Halcombe School also has two “Robicombs” available for families to use to treat head lice. Please contact the Office for details.
