Reducing skin cancer risk

A reminder to families that hats are required to be worn during outside activities in Term 4.

Has yours gone missing?  Hats are available from the School Admin Office.

UV exposure during childhood has a big impact on skin cancer risk – but it’s almost entirely preventable with good UV protection.

SunSmart recommends to reduce UV exposure and encourage the use of all five forms of sun protection:

• Whenever the UV Index hits 3 or above, cover up and protect your skin.
• When you cover up, you create a barrier between yourself and UV.
• Protect your skin by wearing a hat, clothing and sunglasses, apply sunscreen to any skin you can still see and enjoy shady areas outdoors.
• Remember to Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and Slide.
