Claim your missing jumper on Friday morning.

We have a mountain of school jumpers in our lost property. We have reunited any that have student names on them. However, there are many with past names, unreadable names or no names. Our clothing pool is fully stocked, so we are opening the flood gates.

We invite any child or parent to claim for free any jumper from the pile to replace one they have lost. Mrs Wode will be on the playground tomorrow morning from 8.40am.

Congratulations to following students on receiving their Sacrament of Confirmation.

End of May spells Hats Off Day

Yes, it is that time of the year again! The end of May is when we start to witness UV levels dropping off in Canberra to levels that are considered low (under 3) for part, if not most, of the day. It is also that time of the year when confusion sets in around sun protection recommendations in ACT school settings.

To keep things simple and consistent for ACT primary schools and early childhood services, many years ago Cancer Council ACT coined the phrase End Of May is Hats Off Day to assist these busy settings with their ‘hats on’ (hats off) behaviour.

So, in keeping with the End of May is Hats Off Day tune, all Canberra primary school students (and teachers) can leave their hats off for the months of June and July due to low (under 3) daily UV levels each day in the ACT.

The End of May spells Hats Off Day for ACT primary schools, for a few months anyway because the Beginning of August is Hats On Again For All Of Us as UV levels start to rise again in Canberra putting sensible sun protection behaviour back on the radar.
