Sun Smart Procedures

HATS

School hats must be worn at all times for outdoor learning and play. 

Please ensure your child has a labelled school hat. If they do not have a hat, they will be instructed to play in the shade under the church verandah during break times. 

SUNSCREEN

Students should apply sunscreen before school and bring their own sunscreen in their bag. Teachers will provide time for them to re-apply prior to outdoor breaks.

School Uniform

Full Summer uniform is now compulsory. This includes the correct leather school shoes. 

RUNNERS ARE FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION LESSONS AND SPORT DAYS ONLY. 

Our school uniform promotes our wonderful students to the wider community. It shows respect for themselves and others and ensures equality for every child. Students must wear our correct uniform and wear it with pride and confidence. 

When to wear sports uniform

Students participate in specialist lessons across a fortnight timetable. This involves Physical Education and Sport lessons where sports uniform is required.

Here are the days classes need to wear the school sports uniform in Semester Two. A reminder this is the only time students wear this uniform and sports shoes. At all other times Summer school uniform should be worn.

Sport Uniform Days Term 4

Japanese Lessons 

Students have Japanese lessons on a Semester basis. The Year 3/4/5/6 students learnt Japanese in Semester One and it will be the Prep and Year One and Two's turn in Semester Two.

Uniform Donation

If you have uniform at home that your child is no longer wearing, we would be most grateful if you could donate it to the school. Please drop it off to Front Office at any time.
