During
Term 1 and Term 4, students are required to wear their Mentone Park
wide-brimmed hat when outside. If a student does not have a hat, they will be
required to play in a shaded area, as we do not lend hats. Students may bring
sunscreen to school but they must be able to apply it independently.
Homework
Homework will be due Thursday and new homework will be sent out on Fridays. Please remember to listen to your child read nightly.
