Melanoma Awareness Day – Thursday 19 November
You may recall that back in February, we were pleased to share and promote the planned Melanoma March in Manly, an annual event to raise awareness and funds for Melanoma Institute Australia. Sadly, this event was not able to take place but we are excited to have our own Melanoma Awareness Day on campus next Thursday 19 November during National Skin Cancer Action Week.
Particularly in Australia and leading into the summer, the chance to reinforce sun safety in our school community is an important message as well as raise awareness about melanoma amongst the students and to raise money to support Melanoma Institute Australia.
On this day, students are asked to bring in a gold coin donation and to wear a ‘crazy hat’. There will be some merchandise on sale for students to buy on the day such as slap bands, UV wristbands and bandannas which will range between $1-$5 in price.
We will also have a sun cream (and zinc) stand for students to ‘slip slop slap’ at recess and lunch and hope the sun will shine down on us for the event.
