Students who are not wearing appropriate cover will have to remain in the shade. Parents should apply sunscreen to their child before sending them to school. The school will also have sunscreen available, however if you do not wish your child to use the school sunscreen please their own.

These can be worn every day in Term 4.
As with all school events, behavioural standards are to be maintained prior to and during each event. Students will be representing Norwood Primary School, therefore our high behavioural expectations and values will apply. The school reserves the right to withhold permission to attend event(s).
