Head Lice

Head lice are an ongoing problem in many primary schools. To break the cycle at Richmond Road School, we need all whanau to check their child’s head daily.

The most efficient way to control head lice is to either remove the lice and eggs by hand or to wet comb using conditioner and a nit comb. Nit combs can be purchased from your local pharmacy.
