We welcomed home some very weary (and somewhat quieter) year 6 students and their teachers, Mrs O’Sullivan, Mrs Ross, Mr Matthewson and Mr Crisp on Friday afternoon. I have no doubt this camp has created many incredible memories for our students and we are so grateful that they had the opportunity to attend. It was so lovely to hear stories from children feeling accomplished after challenging themselves to give something new a go! Our students are to be commended for the high levels of enthusiasm demonstrated at all times during the 3-day experience. I’d sincerely like to thank our teachers for being so giving of their personal time away from their own families, taking such good care of our students and enabling them such an amazing opportunity. I am pretty sure the teachers had just as much fun as the students!

It is wonderful to see so many of our students riding their bikes to school lately - our new bike racks are getting a lot of use every day!
It is important however to be mindful of pedestrians and students around the front of the school, particularly in the kiss and drop zone, where it can get very congested at times! Bikes and scooters must be walked through this area to ensure the safety of all our students and their families. Teachers will be looking out for students doing the right thing when entering and leaving the school with their bikes. Let's all take responsibility for keeping each other safe!
Did you know that when it comes to sun protection, not all hats are equal?
We know that sun safe hats help protect against skin cancer and eye damage. But did you know that baseball caps do not provide adequate protection from the sun? There is very clear evidence that baseball caps leave the cheeks, ears, chin and back of the neck exposed to ultraviolet radiation, and this is the site of many skin cancers in later life.
Our school recognises the need to protect student’s skin and educate them about sun safety to reduce the risk of skin cancer. We provide ongoing education that promotes healthy lifestyles and individual and collective responsibility for sun safety. Sun safe hats are part of our schools comprehensive approach to sun safety and are supported in the following ways:
· The school hat is part of our school uniform and is a sun safe design
· The Uniform Shop Committee consulted with our community in late 2018 as part of meeting the sun safety guidelines for being a sun safe school. This resulted in one uniform soft broad brimmed hat which was introduced in 2019. This was selected based on feedback and trials within the community. We are still in the transition phase to the one standard broad brimmed hat but it is expected that as a community all students will be wearing the broad-brimmed hat by 2021.
· When planning outside events we put emphasis on time of day and shade planning
· Students wear sun safe hats for PE and Sport and at lunch time
· We consider sun safety and the wearing of sun safe hats when planning school excursions
We ask that all parents take a proactive approach to sun safety and purchase their child a BHPS broad-brimmed hat from our uniform shop.
