HEALTH AND SAFETY: As part of our ongoing sun safety management procedures, we would like to remind parents to please ensure that their children bring the necessary sun protection to school each day to ensure that they are protected from the sun’s rays. This includes an appropriate sun hat and sunscreen that is SPF 30 or above.
