IMPORTANT DATES AND REMINDERS

Our ‘No Sun Smart hat? Play in the shade!’ policy is reintroduced during Term 4. Please remind your children to pack their sun smart hat daily; if they are without their hat, they are directed to a designated shade area for their recess and lunch play time. If you haven’t already, also please label your child’s hat with their full name so it can be returned to them in case it is misplaced.
