What is a Waterschool?
The importance of drinking water in schools is well known. Waterschools encourage and allow water drinking during lessons:
- Pupils drink tap water in school
- there is always access to fresh tap water in school
- Pupils are provided with refillable bottles, glasses or cups
- No sweetened drinks are brought from home or sold in school
- teachers act as role models by drinking water in the classroom
- pupils are instructed to stay hydrated during the school day
