Students should bring a full water bottle with them each day; our fountains have a tap for refilling if needed. Water bottles should not be made of glass.

The Australia New Zealand Food Standard defines an energy drink as a ‘Non-alcoholic, water-based flavoured beverage which contains caffeine and may contain carbohydrates, amino acids, vitamins and other substances (including other foods) for the purpose of enhancing mental performance’. 

Caffenated drinks are dehydrating and high levels of caffeine can also lead to high blood pressure, increased heart rate and increased feelings of anxiety. Drinks with a high level of sugar can result in a "sugar crash" which also has an impact on mood and increased feelings of anxiety. 

Our students' brains need to be hydrated to learn well; water is the best option for this. Students should bring a full water bottle with them each day; our fountains have a tap for refilling if needed. Glass bottles are not suitable for school due to the potential of breakage and injury.

Thank you for your support in ensuring our young people arrive ready to learn each day.
