Coburg North Primary School is a registered SunSmart school and all students must wear school sun hats in Terms 1 and 4. We are committed to ensuring both students and staff are protected from too much UV rays which can cause skin and eye damage and skin cancer.

Students are encouraged to wear their hats on any day of the year when then UV index is 3 or above. We have the SunSmart widget on our website to see today’s UV index.
