ASH WEDNESDAY MASS

Our Grade 6 students and teachers will attend the Ash Wednesday Mass in St Ita's Church on Wednesday 17th February at 11.40am. All other students will participate in a special Liturgy in their classrooms.

HAIR

Any students with shoulder length hair or longer must tie their hair neatly back using school colours: red, blue, white or black.

HEAD LICE

We have had several cases of head lice confirmed at school this week. If lice are found, students are permitted to attend school once the hair has been treated. We recommend a further treatment after 7 days to ensure any juvenile lice have all been detected.

NUT ALLERGY AWARENESS

A reminder to all parents that St Ita’s is a nut free environment. We have several students in our school with a severe food allergy including anaphylaxis to nuts. This is a medical condition that causes a severe / even fatal reaction to specific foods. These reactions can be triggered by contact, ingestion or inhalation.

We ask all parents to refrain from sending nuts or nut products in their children’s lunch and snack. This includes Nutella, peanut butter and nuts contained in cakes or snack bars. We thank you for supporting us as we look to keep all children in our school safe, healthy and well.

LUNCH ORDERS

Lunch & snack orders are available from our school canteen every Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the school term. Orders are placed via Flexischools.
