Sun Protection Policy
The pre-school has a Sun Protection Policy that requires parents to apply sunscreen prior to their child attending pre-school from the start of September to the end of April. An SPF of 30+ is recommended. Sunscreen is available at the pre-school and will be applied by staff when deemed necessary or at parental request.
In addition, children are provided with their own kinder hat at their orientation day. We encourage the children to decorate their hats over the holidays, so that when they commence kinder their hat is clearly labelled and decorated. They wear the hats in Terms 1 & 4. It is requested that parents continually reinforce the need for their child/children to wear hats.
Birthdays
The children enjoy celebrating their birthday at kindergarten. We encourage you to bring along an individually wrapped item to share with all of the children in the group.
Please note: Parents of children with food allergies will need to provide suitable foods to be kept at kinder for these occasions.

Children's clothing
- Your child should come to kinder in comfortable, sunsmart clothing. We do our best to protect clothing, but accidents do happen and outdoor play can be messy! For paint spills we recommend cold water washing.
- Include a change of clothes, including socks and underpants, in your child's bag.
- Please make sure all clothing is clearly named.
- For safety reasons thongs, slip-on shoes, and Crocs are not permitted.
- Suitable wet weather clothing is required during the colder months as we always find time to play outside.
- Please do not to send your child to kindergarten dressed in character costumes, e.g. Batman, Snow White.
- Remember to check lost property regularly!
