SUNSMART IN TERM 4 – HATS
A reminder to all that Term 4 is a Sunsmart Term.
SUNSMART POLICY SHEPPARTON HIGH SCHOOL: RATIONALE
Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. It is estimated that more than 75% of all skin cancers could be prevented by practising sun protection in early childhood and adolescence.
This SunSmart policy has been developed to ensure that all students and staff attending Shepparton High School are protected from over-exposure to the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. These practices will be applied to all school activities including sports carnivals, excursions and camps. It is to be implemented throughout Term 1 and Term 4
IMPLEMENTATION
Behaviour
Encourage all students and staff to wear sun protective hats that shade the face, neck and ears during recess, lunch time and during sporting and other high risk activities; wear clothing with sleeves and collars that are made from a closely woven fibre; and apply at least SPF 15 broad-spectrum water-resistant sunscreen before all outdoor activity and reapply every two hours.
Encourage students to sit in shade areas at recess and lunchtimes. Students not in acceptable shade areas are expected to be wearing a broadbrimmed hat.
This means that a broad brimmed hat must be worn by all students when out in the yard and not sitting in the shade during recess, lunchtime and when taking part in outdoor sports and PE.
Make sure you dust off the hats or purchase a new one during the holidays and have them ready to go for the first day back.
Each student is free to select a hat of their choice, provided it is of a conservative color, and the brim is at least 5cm wide. Baseball caps are not permitted. Navy broad-brimmed hats are also available for purchase for $5 from the bursars office.
As this is the last newsletter before the end of term, we would like thank all staff for their terrific work. Term three is always a difficult term for illness and we are aware that many students have been away sick throughout this term.
We hope everyone has a relaxing break and that both students and staff return fit and healthy after the holidays.
