SCHOOL HATS

Children are currently required to wear their hats at school.

They must leave their hats on the hooks at school at the end of each day. If hats are not brought to school, children will be required

to play in the shade.

ALL HATS NEED TO BE CLEARLY LABELLED.

WE ARE SUNSMART

When it comes to using sun protection, temperature isn't a good guide. You can’t see or feel UV but UV is the part of the sun that can damage skin and eyes and lead to skin cancer. SunSmart advises that Victoria’s UV levels start to rise from mid-August.

Please remind your child to pack their hat. For SunSmart information visit https://www.sunsmart.com.au/communities/parents
