Sun Smart Play

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. We then follow the advise from the Sunsmart app – in respect to the UV ratings and guidelines for when sun protection is required outside of the September/April.

An SPF of 50+ 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 required to wear a hat in Terms 1 & 4. Woodridge provides all children with their very own Woodridge Pre-school hat at their orientation in December of the previous year.  Children will have the opportunity to take the hat home to decorate and add their name before returning the hat to pre-school for their first day.  Hats will remain at the centre throughout the year to ensure all children have a hat during outdoor play. 

Sunsmart clothing ie. clothing that covers shoulders and back is also encouraged to avoid unnecessary exposure and to protect our precious little ones as much as we can. We appreciate your co-operation in ensuring we remain as Sun Smart as we possibly can.
