Hi families and students,

In the warmer weather, the Health Centre has been seeing lots of students feeling dizzy, light-headed and “like they might faint.” Most of the time it comes down to three simple things:

✅ 1) Eat breakfast

A healthy breakfast helps your brain focus and keeps your body steady. Even something quick helps:

• cereal + milk
• toast + peanut butter
• yoghurt + fruit
• smoothie
• eggs

• muesli bar + banana

   

✅ 2) Bring food to school (especially our High School crew!) 

Please pack enough lunch/snacks for the day. We’re finding some students are running on empty by mid-morning. REMEMBER OUR BREAKFAST CLUB OPERATES DAILY!

Great options: sandwiches/wraps, fruit, crackers + cheese, yoghurt, nuts (if allowed), leftovers, muesli bars. 

✅ 3) Drink water through the day

Hot days + sport + running around = you lose water fast. Please bring a refillable drink bottle and sip regularly.

✅ 4) Dress for the weather

We’re noticing students still wearing jumpers on hot days. This can make you overheat quickly.

• If it’s warm: lighter layers, hat outside, jumper off when you can.

• Keep a jumper in your bag for cooler mornings, but please don’t cook yourself by lunchtime 😊

   

🚩 Please see the Health Centre if you feel:

dizzy, nauseous, shaky, headachey, “seeing stars,” or like you might faint.

Let’s keep everyone feeling strong, safe and ready to learn! 💛

Kind regards,

Nurse Jayde & Nurse Kristy
