EASTER BONNET PARADE - EASTER RAFFLE - END OF
TERM DISMISSAL
On Friday, March 31st, we will be holding our annual Easter
Bonnet Parade and drawing the Easter raffle from 9.15am on
the basketball courts. The event will be held in the school hall
if the weather is inclement.
Easter Bonnets have traditionally been made by the children
with their families at home and brought to school for the
parade. This would make a great family project this weekend!
I would like to thank the families for their support in sending
along Easter items for the raffle and selling tickets for the raffle
to family and friends. We would appreciate any additional
donations for the raffle and all raffle tickets returned by
Wednesday, March 29th.
With the last day of Term 1 on Friday, March 31st, I would like
to remind families that school concludes at 2.30pm on this day.
ASSEMBLY - PLANNING WEEK
On Monday, March 27th there will be a Whole School
Assembly in the school hall beginning at 2.45 pm.
Monica Bladier, a representative from the office of Mark
Dreyfuss will be presenting certificates to our school leaders.
All students will be dismissed from the school hall at the
conclusion of the assembly.
PARENT INFORMATION SESSION - A FREE EVENT!

I would encourage all parents and carers to attend our second
combined schools information session to be held at Patterson

Term 2 Week 2 : 24th—28th April 2017
As we have progressed through Term 1, we have received a growing number of reports from parents with
children who have head lice. Please note that PLPS has in place a Head Lice Policy Agreement that stipulates
any child found to have head lice (even 1 or 2 live lice) must be collected from school and cannot resume school
until treatment has taken place.
We ask all families to please check your children’s hair each week and treat if necessary.
Here are the facts: -
Head lice infestations are a common occurrence, particularly in primary schools.
it is estimated about 23% of primary students have head lice at any one time
anyone can catch head lice regardless of their age, sex, or how clean their hair is
head lice move from one person's head to another via hair
head lice do not survive long when they are off a human head
head lice do not live on furniture, hats, bedding or carpet
head lice have built up some resistance to head lice treatments
Treatment: -
Daily combing of white hair conditioner using a fine tooth comb is effective in getting rid of head lice and
eggs.
Tips for parents in reducing the spread of head lice:-
As infestations are particularly common in primary schools, it is best to choose a treatment that can be used
over time. There is no single solution to eradication, only persistence.
regularly check your children's hair
teach older children to check their own hair
tie back or braid long hair
keep a fine tooth head lice comb in the bathroom and encourage all family members to use it when they
wash their hair
