Things to know
SUNSMART
A reminder to all families that we officially start to wear hats again on the 1st September.Although it seems a little strange with the cold front we are experiencing, we can never be sure with UV radiation. We have a special widget on our website to help guide you. Students are encouraged to apply their own sunscreen before they go out to play, especially our younger students. Hats are available to purchase from the office.

CYBER SAFETY - THINK YOU KNOW PRESENTATION
Our school will be hosting a ThinkUKnow presentation on Wednesday 18th September at 6:00pm in the Barrbunin and all parents, carers and teachers are encouraged to attend.
ThinkUKnow Australia is a cyber safety education program that educates parents, carers and teachers of how people are using technology, the challenges they may face online, and how to help them overcome these in a safe and ethical way.
ThinkUKnow Australia is a partnership between the Australian Federal Police, Microsoft Australia, Datacom and the Commonwealth Bank. The program is delivered in collaboration with policing partners New South Wales Police Force, Northern Territory Police, Queensland Police, South Australia Police, Tasmania Police, Western Australia Police, as well as Neighbourhood Watch Australasia.
The presentation will be delivered by a local law enforcement member and an industry volunteer. The presentation covers issues relating to children and young peoples’ privacy and security online, their relationships with other users and their online reputation. It provides insight into the devices young people are using, as well as the popular websites, apps and social networking sites they’re accessing.
This is a fantastic opportunity for you to learn more about young people and the online environment, and how you can help them to be safe and responsible users of technology.
