1. We are SunSmart whenever the UV Index is 3 or above. This includes for camps, excursions, sporting events and outdoor lessons.

3. Sun protective clothing is part of our uniform.
4. We encourage use of SPF 30 or higher broad spectrum water resistant sunscreen.
5. Everyone wears a broad brimmed hat when outside. We know caps are not adequatley protective.

7. Staff and visitors are requested to role-model good sun protection by wearing a hat.
8. We provide shade for play, outdoor lessons and events.
