Hot Weather Policy
While most campuses have air conditioning, the school also has a hot weather policy. Early dismissal for hot weather is determined at the local level.
- Students may be dismissed at 12.30 pm on days when the forecast maximum is 39°C or higher, or
- The class may be cancelled before it starts if the estimated maximum temperature is 40°C.
The policy takes into account factors which include location, building design and whether or not the school is equipped with air conditioning.
The early dismissal of students, in accordance with the school’s hot weather policy, will be subject to parents having given the school written permission, renewable annually, for their children to be dismissed early. Students who do not have written permission from their parents must be adequately supervised at the school.
Arrangements must comply with a school policy, determined in consultation with the school council, endorsed by the Principal and conveyed, in writing, to parents at least once annually.
Staff remain on duty on days of early dismissal.
Sun smart policy
To minimise the danger of ultraviolet radiation exposure for children, the school has the following sun smart policy:
- encourages students to play in shaded areas
- requires students to wear sunscreen when playing out classrooms
- requires students to wear appropriate sun protective clothing and broad-brimmed hats – no hat, no play.
高温天气应对办法
虽然我校大部分校区的教室里都有空调，但是学校仍制定了这一高温天气应对办法。如果遇到高温天气，由各校区自行决定是否提高让学生回家。
- 如果当天的天气预报显示最高温度在39度或以上，可以考虑取消下午的课程。
- 如果当天的天气预报显示最高温度在40度，当天全天的课程可以提前取消。
本办法会考虑到各校区的地点、教学楼的设计、教室是否配有空调等具体因素。
如果根据这一高温天气应对办法，学校决定让学生提前放学，家长需要向家长提出书面同意授权，该授权需要每年更新。如果学生没有得到家长的书面授权，学校要负责对学生进行恰当的照料。
关于高温天气的安排必须符合学校的相关规定，经校委会讨论决议，由校长签字，以书面形式发放给家长，以获得授权，授权书至少每年更新一次。
如果因高温天气让学生提前放学，学校工作人员仍需留在校园内，不得擅离职守。
防晒应对办法
为降低学生暴露在紫外线下受到的伤害，我校特制定以下防晒应对办法：
- 鼓励学生在阴凉处玩耍。
- 要求学生在室外玩耍时擦防晒霜。
- 要求学生穿着适合的防晒衣物，带宽边太阳帽。不戴帽子，不能出去玩。
