Become a SunSmart Accredited school
Over-exposure to the sun during childhood and adolescence is known to be the major cause of skin cancer.

Schools have the potential to have a major impact on the amount of sun that students are exposed to because…

  • Children are at school during the high-risk period each day for five days a week.
  • The crucial period for sustaining damaging levels of sun exposure occurs during the school years.
  • Schools can play a significant role in changing behaviours through education.

We would like to invite your school to become an accredited SunSmart School.

  • A SunSmart School has a policy with defined goals to implement SunSmart safety into school curriculum, behaviour and environment.
  • A SunSmart school demonstrates its commitment to future development and safety by establishing processes for evaluation and assessment of its SunSmart policy and practice.
  • A SunSmart School cultivates sun-safe behaviour and works towards increasing shade for its students and staff.

Apply to become a SunSmart accredited school.
