Petition Provide water dispensers in all Jersey schools

Here is a breakdown of the primary benefits:
• Proper hydration is essential for brain health. Mild dehydration can lead to fatigue, headaches, and decreased alertness.
• Easy access to fresh water encourages children to build lifelong healthy hydration habits.
• Installing modern bottle filling stations and dispensers drastically reduces the consumption of single-use plastic water bottles.
• Schools require students to be active through PE classes, sports, and recess. Sweating during these activities causes fluid loss, which must be replenished to prevent heat-related illnesses and overheating.
• Water dispensers in schools act as a powerful tool for structural and physiological regulation, directly stabilizing student behaviour.
