Suncare Logo
The rising SUN in Suncare represents our children and youths and the bright future they have ahead of them. CARE is an acronym for Confidence, Awareness, Resilience and Empowerment –
skills which we hope to equip our children and youths with so they can develop into happy and well-rounded individuals, empowered to achieve their fullest potential.
