Rationale
Over exposure to the sun presents a serious health risk.  Students must therefore be educated as to the need for suitable sun protection, and protected from over exposure to the sun whilst at school.  Although the recess of Czech and Slovak School of Sydney is short, we shall continue to encourage students to protect themselves even if exposed to the sun for brief periods.

Aims

• To educate students as to suitable sunsmart protection  strategies
• To encourage children to protect themselves from the harmful effects of the sun

Implementation

• Children should be encouraged to wear hats or other headgear during Term 1 and 4 whenever they are outside
• Children without hats will be restricted to playing in designed shaded areas
