No Hat, No Play Policy & Sunscreen for Terms 1 & 4

Naranga has a No hat, No Play Policy at school which means that all students need to bring a named hat to school so they can participate in play time, PE and sport sessions. We also require our students to wear sunscreen during the same terms. Sunscreen is available to the students and is to be applied 20-30 minutes prior to going outside. If you have any issues regarding the use of sunscreen, please contact the school office asap.

Frankston Immunisation Team

The City of Frankston Immunisation team will be at Naranga School on December 3rd to vaccinate our Year 7 age group (12-13 year olds) and the Year 10 age group (15-16 years olds.

If you require a form please feel free to contact Jenny Camm. Please note if you have already sent permission forms they are still on file here.
