Extreme Weather Practices

Hot Weather

Our school supports students during hot weather by:

• using air-conditioned facilities where available
• varying normal teaching programs through the use of shady and cool outdoor facilities
• encouraging students to drink water and allowing drink bottles in the classroom
• taking indoor lunch and recess breaks during extreme heat

Rain and Poor Air Quality

Our school may vary day to day actvities in the event of heavy rain or poor air quality. Strategies may include:

• moving outdoor activities indoors
• cancelling outdoor events when rain or smoke is increased
• monitoring air quality
• avoiding vigorous outdoor activity during periods of poor air quality
