Sun Smart Policy

Corinda State School actively promotes safe practices to protect our students from the effects of exposure to the sun’s harmful rays. We have joined the Queensland Government’s “Sun Smart” initiative and are seeking to be certified as a “Sun Smart School”. School uniforms have been redesigned to ensure maximum protection and a broad brimmed hat is compulsory for all students. It is recommended that an approved hat (or Legionnaire’s cap) be purchased as part of the school uniform through the school's Uniform Shop. Baseball caps etc are not acceptable as they provide insufficient protection. Children are also encouraged to apply a high SPF factor sunscreen when playing or working outdoors to further reduce the risk of sun cancer. School staff model these practices to our students at all times.
We reinforce these practices through our Health & Physical Education Program and ask that all parents support us through encouraging their children to follow these safe practices.

Our Sun Smart rule is: “No Hat = No Play!”
