Sun Smart School

REPS is a Sun Smart School, and as such require students to wear hats and other protective clothing during Terms 1 and 4. We are aiming to increase our shaded areas to provide extra protection during these terms. We have a strict "NO HAT, NO PLAY" rule and enact a 'HOT DAY TIMETABLE' when tempertaures exceed 35 degrees. We are well equipped to provide indoor play areas during these times.
