HOT WEATHER TIPS

Don’t send your child to school too early

Hats are essential

Send in plenty of cold water

Talk to your child about playing quieter games and in the shade if possible

Pick your child up after school on extreme heat days if it is possible.

The school will provide some indoor (cooler) activities and spaces during lunch time on very hot days.
