Sunsmart Updates
The Department of Education’s sun protection policy template and SPAG have been updated to reflect current Cancer Council recommendations that sun protection measures be used from mid-August to the end of April. Sun protection is needed whenever UV levels reach three and above and in Victoria UV levels typically start to rise from mid-August.
School uniform hats are now compulsory at Lyndhurst Primary School.
Sunscreen must be provided for students' personal use by their families.
Harmony Day
This year’s special 10th Harmony Day will be held on the second last day of term on Thursday 26th of March. It is a special day on the Lyndhurst School calendar that our students and community members look forward to every year to celebrate our harmonious cultural diversity.
As I plan for this year’s special event, I would like to put out an expression of interest to any parents, guardians and family members who would like to volunteer their time to either present a cultural dance or performance, or teach a small group of students a dance or performance. All offers will be considered for either the main performance at the Harmony Day morning parade or a special activity on offer for the day. Any other contributions from our Lyndhurst community such as cultural talks, cooking demonstrations and arts and craft activities are very welcome.
If this is something you’re interested in, please fill out the expression of interest form and return it to the school office by Friday, March 6th 2020.
