Term 2 Lunch clubs

Hats

As we say goodbye to the warmer weather and UV levels decrease, students can now choose to play outside without a hat. We encourage everyone to wear a hat when the UV index is 3 or above.

Our “No hat, No play” rule will return in mid-August.

You can view the SunSmart policy on our website.
