While we may be enjoying this great summer weather, it is important to remember to Slip, Slop, Slap and Wrap!

With our school Carnival day taking place next Friday (28 Feb) this is a timely reminder to protect our skin from harmful UV rays.

The NZ Cancer Society recommends we:

Slop on some broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen of at least SPF30. Apply at least 20mins before going outdoors so it can be absorbed into the skin. Cover all exposed skin - remember ears, feet, backs of knees and hands. Sunscreen should be stored in a cool, dark place.
Slap on a hat. A hat is a very important part of sunscreen protection. Hats should shade the face; bucket hats with a deep crown and broad-brim are ideal as part of the GBHS uniform.
