POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR FOCUS: TERM 4, WEEK 1
As we head into Term 4, our Positive Behaviour focus will be "Be Safe – We Are SunSMART." With warmer weather and higher UV levels across Queensland, it is important that we all take responsibility for protecting ourselves from the sun while enjoying outdoor learning and play.
Students will be learning about the SunSmart Safety Team, also known as the 5 S's of Sun Safety. Just like any great team, each strategy works best when they work together:
• Slip on sun-protective clothing that covers as much skin as possible.
• Slop on SPF50 or SPF50+ sunscreen before heading outdoors and reapply regularly.
• Slap on a broad-brimmed, bucket, or legionnaire hat to protect your face, ears, and neck.
• Seek shade whenever possible, especially during peak UV times.
• Slide on sunglasses that meet Australian UV protection standards.
Students are encouraged to:
• Wear their school hat whenever they are outside.
• Apply sunscreen before school and bring sunscreen for reapplication if needed.
• Use shaded areas during breaks.
• Follow teacher reminders about sun safety.
By practising these simple SunSmart habits every day, students help keep themselves and others safe while enjoying all the exciting activities that Term 4 brings. We encourage families to support these messages at home so that together we can build lifelong sun-safe behaviours.
Remember: Being SunSMART is an important way to "Be Safe" every day!
See you tomorrow for the start of Term 4!
