PROTECTION FROM THE SUN
The school has submitted an application for Commonwealth Funding to enhance playground facilities throughout the school, which may include the installation of shade sails. Until we receive confirmation of the outcome, it is important to adhere to SunSmart guidelines when using playgrounds with limited shade, such as the Bird's Nest area in Playground 3. As per our JSA SunSmart Policy we strongly encourage you to follow the guidelines in the policy to keep you and the students safe.
Reapply sunscreen!!!!
