School Hats

Wembley Primary School is a SunSmart school and students are required to wear a broad brimmed school hat at all times whilst in the playground – this includes during recess and lunch time, as well as physical education, sports sessions and whilst on excursions.

Please ensure that your child has applied sunscreen prior to coming to school.

Children without a hat will be asked to spend their recess and lunch breaks in the shaded area near the canteen.

Direct purchases of school hats from the office are available for $15.50 each. All hats should be clearly labelled with the child’s name and room number so they can be easily returned, if misplaced.

Late arrival/early departure process

Students arriving late to school are required to enter the School via the Office to obtain a late pass. Parents are asked to bring their child/ren into the Office if late.

*Please note students who attend the Office without a Parent/Guardian will be marked as an Unapproved late arrival.
