Sunsmart

Being outdoors where students can be active and have fun is great. But being outdoors means students can also be exposed to UV radiation. With UV levels in Victoria now reaching 3 and above, it’s time for everyone to start using sun protection again.

We would like to remind students, staff and families to wear sun protective hats, clothing and apply sunscreen before heading outdoors.

When the UV is 3 or above, use all five forms of sun protection: 

• Slip on sun protective clothing 
• Slop on SPF50 or SPF50+, broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen 
• Slap on a broad-brimmed hat 
• Seek shade 
• Slide on sunglasses 

At lunchtime and recess we ask that children seek shade, slip on protective clothing, slap on a sun protective hat, slop on some sunscreen and slide on some sunglasses!

Hats are available to purchase from the Beleza Store in Gisborne or online.
