SunSmart

A gentle reminder that ALL students need to wear their school hat this term. As we are a SunSmart school, we take very seriously the need to be sun smart. This includes

Wearing the approved broad-brimmed Donvale school hat outside
Encouraging students to come to school wearing a broad-spectrum water-resistant sunscreen (30+) and to reapply it during the day

If students do not wear or have a hat, they will be restricted to play in the designated shade areas.

Lost property

If your child has misplaced any of their belongings at school, we have two lost property boxes. One at the tiger turf end of the junior building, and the other opposite the after school care room in the middle school building.

Please ensure all your child's belongings are named clearly so it is easier for them to be found when they are misplaced.
