In the hot season we need to make sure our students keep hydrated to prevent heat illness.

The Health Clinic has noticed an increase in the number of students presenting with heat related symptoms.

Heat illness occurs when your body gets too hot and can not cope….it can be deadly! It can vary from mild heat cramps to seizures and coma. Heat illness can be prevented by making sure you are well hydrated.

Please encourage your child to drink 6-8 glasses of water whilst they are at school with extra water when you are doing outdoor activities such as PE and after school sports.
