Hydration and Water Bottle Use

The College actively encourages each student to bring a refillable water bottle to school each day (no glass bottles).

Moving into pre-season training for winter sports, teachers have brought to my attention, particularly amongst our Year 9 students, a trend of adding supplements to their water bottles. In most cases, the students claim it to be a ‘pre-workout’ additive.

Pre and post-workout supplements should not be bought to school. Additives such as caffeine are often present in supplements which is not ideal for students and their learning.

Teachers will encourage students to revert to water, for ‘healthy’ brain activity and learning. Bring water only for the classroom environment.

I encourage families to continue discussions at home on the topic.
