In the last term, many Member schools have made great progress with the development of water policies. These are policies that simply clarify

  • that drinking water is available to all children
  • that children may bring to class, water bottltes filled with water
  • when the water - only water bottles can be used, and
  • that sweet drinks are not permitted in classtime.
Clear and simple water policies can also help you involve parents in creating a school environmemnt that promotes health.

Several schools have kindly agreed to share their policies on this website for other Move Well Eat Well members.
