Sun safety policy
The Runaway Bay Sport and Leadership Excellence Centre is an outdoor education centre where a significant amount of teaching and learning takes place in an outdoor setting.
As such sun safety strategies have been devised and are either encouraged or enforced to keep students and staff safe while operating in a sun exposed environment.
Students
Sun safe practices are communicated to visiting staff and parents/carers via pre-arrival forms that remind these groups to bring full brimmed hats, sunscreen, rash shirt and no singlets/sleeveless shirts.
Students are told to wear a hat while outdoors. If a student does not have access to a hat, they are provided with a spare.
Students are encouraged to wear and reapply sunscreen during the program. SPF50+ sunscreen is available for students who don't have access to their own.
Students must wear a shirt at all times of the program, including a rash shirt during water/beach-based activities.
Students must wear enclosed footwear at all times, including during water/beach-based activities.
Students are encouraged to wear sunglasses when safe to do so.
Our staff
All teachers and staff are encouraged to model sun safe behaviours when working with students.
Staff are provided with a work uniform that consists of a collared shirt and hat. Staff also have the option to wear a long-sleeved shirt.
Staff are encouraged to wear a hat and sunglasses outdoors and a rash shirt at the Broadwater.
Staff are provided SPF50+ sunscreen and encouraged to wear and reapply when entering an outdoor environment.
Teachers make use of available shaded space when delivering the program.
