The school is encouraging all students to be sun safe at all times. The Cancer council of Australia recommends that not only do we “slip, slop slap” but also slide on a pair of sunglasses to protect our eyes. The school has purchased sunglasses for our students to wear. These are available at the cost of $12 and include a sturdy case and come in a variety of sizes. The glasses are red and have a place for children’s names to be written on. They can be purchased from the school’s office and I encourage all students to purchase them.
