During the summer months, the UV rating consistently hovers around level 12 for most of the day. The UV rays come through the cloud layers therefore even on a cloudy day, we need to be wearing broad-brimmed or bucket style hats and sunscreen to safeguard damage against these rays. Students and staff are required to wear hats in terms 1, and 4 and whenever the UV level is 3 and above in terms 2 and 3.The predicted UV level appears in the school's daily bulletin.

Staff and students follow the policy and are independently responsible for their future health by wearing the described hats or sitting in solid shaded areas when learning or being active in the outdoors.

Hats may be brought from home and be any colour. The hats may include logos, providing they do not promote alcohol, drugs make other illegal or inappropriate references. Alternatively, the school has a range of hats at affordable prices that are available from the Reception office.

• Reversible sports hats    $9
• Bucket Hats $12   
• Broad-brimmed  $15
