Despite frustration, the elected representative believes that it was not possible to maintain the activity. “”If we take the risk and the bus breaks down, without air conditioning, under 35 degrees and that a child makes a discomfort … What do we do? We are responsible and we do not want to take any risks. “
In the email, it was written that the alderman “Invites parents, as far as possible, to keep children at home, due to the hot weather announced “.
Which, too, surprised. “”Schools remain of course open and teachers are present, Immediately specifies Marie-Christine Robyns. However, it is estimated that, for their well-being, it is preferable that children stay at home. They will be better to wade in a small pool under a parasol than at school, where there is not always a park and shaded areas. It is very hot in the premises. Of course the teachers are attentive to hydrate their students well, but it is easier to do it with one, two or three children, as can be the case at home, with 20 young, at school. “
The governor did not ask to cancel all school outings
Given the decided cancellation, we can therefore wonder if all the activities organized by the Walloon Brabant schools must be canceled. “”We did not ask to cancel all the school outings, replies Nathalie Vandenput, communications manager of the governor of Walloon Brabant, Gilles Mahieu. The crisis center sent communication this Monday at 6:36 p.m. to draw attention to the vigilance to pay locally. We recommend avoiding physical activities as much as possible during the hottest hours of the day. We did our job to encourage caution and adaptation. Anticipation? We did prevention and this communication had already been sent in June. It was just a reminder. “
