Sun Smart 

Just a reminder as the warmer weather approaches up that we all need to be Sun Smart !

It is the UV rays that can cause sun damage and skin cancer -not just high temperatures. Consider downloading a UV App that will warn you of times you need protection from the sun in your area especially when the UV index is + 3 

Hats are part of the Wedderburn College Uniform and must be worn when students are outside in Term 1 & 3. 

The uniform shop has hats if your student needs a new one -please make sure it is named!

Research shows us that UV damage significantly increases the risk of skin cancer . Please note the Sun Smart advice on the attached posters  and encourage your students to develop good sun protection habits.
