Schools have been our dominant focus for this month, with four on the go across WA; from Mandurah to Quinns Rocks our team’s individual WWCCs have been worth such great opportunities to work alongside some fantastic, visionary educational leaders.
Here’s a fun fact: did you know that WA modifies its school programmes (eg. PE) to accommodate the weather, but there is no set limit on high-temperatures for students to be able to leave school? (Stein & Thorn, 2017).
That’s why it is so important to get in touch if the air conditioning or electrics in your school or child-related business are not performing to the expected standard; kids need to be kept cool in scorching Terms 1 and 4 and warm in Terms 2 and 3 in order to perform their absolute best!
