Sun Safety
With the varying elements and effects which can be caused by the sun, Gilgandra Preschool implements sun protection measures to ensure that children are able to enjoy the outside environment for increased health and wellbeing and to comply with Cancer Council’s National SunSmart Early Childhood Program.
Every child who accesses the preschool receive a free bucket hat which remains with them throughout their time at Preschool. This ensures that no child forgets their hat ensuring that they are able to participate in the program while remaining sun safe. Hats are laundered at the Preschool.
Gilgandra Preschool supplies sunscreen which is applied regularly throughout the day while teaching the children the relevance to being sun safe.
