Sun Protection @ ENPS

Don't forget to pack your hat!

Essendon North Primary School's Sun Protection Policy is required to be enacted in mid to late August, as the UV ratings increase. Due to an increase in UV ratings over the last two weeks, hats became compulsory at ENPS on Monday 19th August.

All students and staff must now wear a sun protective hat that shades the face, neck and ears for all outdoor activities. Students are required to wear a school hat or another hat style in alignment with our student dress code, for example broad-brimmed, legionnaire or bucket hats. Peak caps and visors are not considered a suitable alternative. Students who are not wearing appropriate protective clothing or a hat will be asked to play in the shade or in a suitable area protected from the sun. This requirement will remain in place until the end of April next year.
