Hats On

As the weather is slowly getting warmer and we see a rise in UV levels remember to slip on a hat, slop on some sunscreen, slap on a shirt, seek some shade, and slide on some sunnies!

From the first day of Term 4 hats are required to be worn when outside. Students without hats will be asked to sit in the shade at playtime for their own protection. Remember - NO HAT NO PLAY!
