HEAD LICE NOTICE

Dear Families,

We have been advised that head lice have been detected within our school community.

We ask that all families please take the time to check your child/ren’s hair carefully for head lice and eggs and, if detected, treat accordingly.

Regular checking and prompt treatment are important in helping to reduce the spread of head lice within our school.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our school community happy and healthy.

Our Reef Guardians made a massive splash at Oceanfest 2026! 🌊📖✨

Last year’s Bundaberg South State School Reef Guardian book was blown up into giant A3 format, and the wonderful ladies at Oceanfest were reading it aloud to festival goers every single hour.

Seeing the crowd's reaction and hearing how much the Oceanfest team adored the story shows just how far this little project has come. It is incredible to see our students' hard work and passion for reef conservation celebrated on such a big community stage.

The adventure doesn't stop here, our Reef Guardians are already working on the next chapter, with a brand-new book on the way this year. Stay tuned! 🐠🐢💙

Thanks Miss Gabby for the photos and your time at the event. 🪸🩵🐟

REMINDER – OSHC SURVEY CLOSES TOMORROW AT 9:00 AM

We are asking all Bundaberg South State School families who have not yet completed the Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) survey to please take a few minutes to do so before it closes at 9:00 am tomorrow, Thursday 3 September.

Having an OSHC service located at our school would be a major asset for our students and families, providing convenient before and/or after school care for those who need it.

However, in order for an OSHC service at Bundaberg South State School to be considered viable, we need to hear from our families. Your responses are extremely important in demonstrating the genuine level of demand for this service within our school community.

⭐ In particular, if your family would be looking for a permanent or regular OSHC booking, please make sure you complete the survey. We need your voice and your feedback to help demonstrate that there is sufficient ongoing demand for this service.

Even if you would only use OSHC on certain days or occasionally, we still encourage you to complete the survey and let us know.

Complete the survey here:
https://survey.qed.qld.gov.au/n/dP1hBvx

The survey takes approximately 5–10 minutes, is voluntary and anonymous, and closes promptly at:

⏰ 9:00 am TOMORROW – Thursday 3 September 2026

If you have already completed the survey, thank you! Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

We would love to see an OSHC service become a reality at Bundaberg South State School. If this is a service your family would use, please make sure your voice is heard before the survey closes.
