This means:

• We are SunSmart whenever the UV Index is 3 or above. This includes for camps, excursions, sporting events and outdoor lessons.
• We know that UV is not the same as heat and we can get sunburnt on cool days when the UV is above 3.
• Sun protective clothing is part of our uniform.
• We encourage use of SPF 30 or higher broad spectrum water resistant sunscreen.
• Everyone wears a broad brimmed hat when outside. We know caps are not adequatley protective.
• If we don’t have a hat, we can borrow one or play in the shade.
• Staff and visitors are requested to role-model good sun protection by wearing a hat.
• We provide shade for play, outdoor lessons and events.
• We learn about skin cancer prevention.
• When we can, we schedule outdoor activities when the UV is lower.
