SunSmart policy - hats required again
As the sun is peeking back through the clouds and the UV is increasing, students are required to wear hats again from 24 August. Please remind your child/ren to pack their hat in their bag and wear it while outside.
Smile Squad
The Better Health Network Smile Squad team are heading back to our school to complete six-monthly fluoride varnish applications for those students who provided consent earlier this year. Fluoride varnish applications help make sure students have the best chance of preventing tooth decay, so we’re excited Smile Squad are coming back.
