Reminder – Wearing Hats

16 October 2026

Dear Parents/Carers,

As we move into warmer weather and high UV index days, we want to ensure all our students stay safe, healthy, and energised while enjoying their breaks. Ensuring sun safety is paramount and we are writing to request your support in reinforcing the importance of wearing hats during active outdoor play.

While high school students are growing more independent, the risks associated with sun exposure and UV radiation remain significant. During recess, lunch and outdoor physical activities, students spend a substantial amount of time in direct sunlight. 

To protect our students, students who do not bring or wear a hat will be directed to designated shaded areas for passive recreation during breaks and will be unable to participate in active play, games or sports.

We kindly ask that you check in with your child before they leave for school each morning to ensure they have their school hat packed in their bag. Labelling the hat with your child’s full name will also help prevent loss. Alternatively, if your son has lost their school hat that another is purchased.

Thank you for your partnership in keeping our students safe, healthy and active throughout the school year. If you have any questions regarding sun safety or uniform guidelines, please feel free to reach out to your son’s Leader of Wellbeing. 

Kind regards,

Ms Linda Codamo
Director of Wellbeing
