Term 3

Beleza

Dear School Community,

 

Temporary Changes to Trading Hours for School Holidays. With the end of Term 3 quickly approaching, we’d like to advise you that there are changes to the trading hours of all Beleza retail stores during the holiday break. Your local Beleza store will be closed during the first week of holidays. We’d recommend families check their local store’s Google listing to confirm opening hours before visiting a store. As we have multiple Beleza locations across Victoria, we suggest searching “Beleza + Your Suburb Name” to ensure you’re getting the most relevant information.Please note that all stores will be closed From Saturday 20th of September until Sunday 28th of September. We’ll return to our usual trading days and hours across all stores from Monday 29th of September, however as our trading days differ from store to store, please check your local store’s trading hours. We’d like to apologise for any inconvenience that these changes may cause and we thank you for your understanding. We hope you all have a safe and enjoyable holiday break!

 

Kind regards,

Beleza School Uniform

Is your child's Medical Information up to date?

Sun Exposure

Overexposure to the Sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation during childhood and adolescence is a major risk factor for skin cancer. Melanoma is one of the most diagnosed cancers in Victorians aged 15 to 29 years and is caused by UV damage.

 

School staff have a duty of care and obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (Vic) to ensure all reasonable steps are taken to minimise risks to staff and student health and safety arising from exposure to UV radiation.

 

Please refer to our Sun and UV Protection policy for guidance and resources for schools, and the Sun Protection policy template.

 

Encourage sun protection at school

To promote UV protection, school staff can:

 

  • check daily sun protection times on the SunSmart and Bureau of Meteorology websites, or free SunSmart app and widget
  • remind students to apply or reapply sunscreen before going outdoors, through visual reminder notices, sunscreen monitors, sunscreen buddies or sunscreen stations near exit points. SunSmart has free resources and materials for primary schools (including a new hat and sunscreen reminder poster) and secondary schools
  • role-model sun protection measures, including applying sunscreen before going outside
  • include skin cancer prevention education at all year levels. SunSmart provides free curriculum resources for primary and secondary schools
  • encourage and remind students to wear sun-protective clothing, hats and close-fitting wrap-around sunglasses

  • provide sunscreen or encourage students to bring it from home.

     

SunSmart online courses for staff and students

SunSmart Victoria has free online courses for students, teachers and staff in Victorian primary and secondary schools. They include teacher guidance to support students’ learning and align with the Victorian Curriculum F–10.

 

For more information, refer to SunSmart online learning courses.

 

SunSmart at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image

Students can now learn about the history of SunSmart campaigns in ACMI’s free centrepiece exhibition, The Story of the Moving Image.

 

From the first Slip! Slop! Slap! campaigns in the 1980s with Sid the Seagull, students can investigate how media can promote healthy sun behaviours, influence attitudes and create positive change in the community.

 

For more information and bookings, refer to ACMI From sunburn to SunSmart and school exhibition visits.
