Sun Smart Dress Code  

Link: Sun-Smart-Policy.pdf (elthamhs.vic.edu.au) 

Sun safety is a shared responsibility. Staff, parents and students are encouraged to implement a combination of sun protection measures whenever UV levels reach 3 and above (typically from mid-August to the end of April in Victoria). Guidelines supporting our students and staff to help minimise the risk of sun damage and skin cancer are outlined in the Sun Smart policy.  

The school’s Dress Code policy outlines expectations for students regarding appropriate clothing within a school environment. There are specific aspects of this policy that relate to sun protection outlining that brief clothing is not appropriate for school – this includes singlets, short skirts and shorts, exposed mid-riffs and thongs footwear. 

Information about the daily local sun protection times is available via the free SunSmart app, or at sunsmart.com.au or bom.gov.au

Eltham High School welcomes feedback, both positive and negative, and is committed to continuous improvement. We value open communication with our families and are committed to understanding complaints and addressing them appropriately. We recognise that the complaints process provides an important opportunity for reflection and learning. 

Parent Payment

Schools must not have their own local Parent Payment Policy but instead must follow and implement the Department's Parent Payments Policy on the Parent Payments page of the Department's Policy and Advisory Library (PAL). This Parent Payments Policy outlines the ways in which schools can request financial contributions from parents and ensures that parent payment practices in Victorian government schools are consistent, transparent and that all students have access to the Curriculum.
