SunSmart

Rochester Secondary College is a SunSmart School

It is a requirement of the school that all students wear a school bucket hat between mid August and the end of April and the application of  SPF50 or SPF50+ sunscreen is strongly recommended.

Our full Sunsmart Policy can be found on the school website.

We also recommend downloading the SunSmart app to your phone.

The free SunSmart Global UV app puts sun protection advice at your fingertips, so you know when UV levels can damage your skin leading to skin cancer.

When the index hits 3, cover up from UV.

GET SMART AND PREVENT SKIN CANCER

Two in three Australians will develop skin cancer by the age of 70.

Combine these five simple steps to save your skin.

1. Slip on sun protective clothing
2. Slop on SPF 50 sunscreen or higher
3. Slap on a brimmed hat
4. Seek shade
5. Slide on some sunglasses

And remember to take extra care when the UV index is 3 or above.

A reminder that RSC bucket hats are available to be purchased for $5.00 from the school office.  Sizes are S/M or L/XL
