Facts about head lice

Head lice will be a problem from time to time at Tootgarook Primary School and it is important to worktogether as a school community to minimise the frustration caused by the problem.

If your child has head lice tell anyone who has had head to head contact with them. Half the people whohave head lice never scratch their head. If you dont know about the head lice then they dont know to look

and treat for head lice.

Head lice are not fussy about the heads they live on they make no consideration for income, ethnicity orhair colour. They live their entire lives on human heads andtheir entire food and water source is suppliedfrom the scalp.

Head lice have been around for many thousands of years and they will not be eradicated.

Head lice dont fly or jump they crawl from head to head. This often happens when people play or workclosely together

Head lice (Pediculosis humanus capitis) are small (3-4mm) wingless insects, which are common particularlyin school aged children. It is estimated that 6 million American primary school aged students, equivalent to1 in 4 were infested with head lice in 1998. Head lice are a common problem in Australian schools and exactfigures on the size of the problem vary.

Eggs can be difficult to see; use a strong light (such as sunlight) and look on the hair shafts. If you are notsure whether an object you find is a head louse egg, try sliding it up the hair shaft using your fingers. Eggsare usually quite difficult to move, whereas dandruff and other items slide easily.

Information pamphlets about treatment and controlling head lice are available from the school office

Next Tuesday starting at 9.00am a team of parents will be checking students hair who have

signed the permission form. To be a successful program we are aiming for all children to have the formcompleted. Parents have been trained, approved by School Council and will abide by confidentiality contractssigned off.

As the hair is checked a parent will be noting whether a note will need to be sent home later in the dayindicating an observation of head lice. As all children will be receiving notes on the day confidentiality will beachieved for all students.

If you have not signed a form please complete asap at the General Office.
