School Nurse

 

Finally we are coming out of winter and into spring, and hopefully some beautiful warm weather is ahead! As such, we need to be aware that the 1st September is when our SunSmart policy comes into practice. Our school will help remind students of the importance of protecting their skin during times when the UV is 3+.

We ask that you make sure your child comes to school with their school hat each day.

Please also help support this initiative by:  

• Supplying your child with SPF30 or higher, broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen for use during school hours when the UV will be greater than 3.
• Talking to your child about the importance of using sunscreen regularly to help prevent skin damage.
• Ensuring your child knows how to apply their sunscreen independently and has had some practice so they will be all set to apply it safely at school.
• Being a SunSmart role model at home with sunscreen, hats, clothing, shade and sunglasses.

Let's all enjoy the warmer weather safely! 

Thanks for your help in supporting children's health.   

Kind regards,

Nurse Cecile
