Keeping safe whilst out bushwalking:
No need to let others know if it is only a short walk and if you take some food it is ok to leave behind fresh food scraps that can decompose.
If the weather is extremely hot, it is ok to wear a t-shirt and wear thongs so long as you have enough water.
Plan and tell an adult. Make sure your buddy understands the plan and you both wear appropriate clothing.
