“Classrooms Hit 30°C” Case: Struggle To Keep Students Focused

October 5, 2025

Hot classrooms make it harder for keeping students focused. That’s why DEEPCHILL, your trusted air conditioning Gold Coast service, is here to help when heatwave hits.

What will happen when schools face the heat without AC?

“Sometimes, if it’s too hot, I keep him at home. I don’t send him to school,” a parent shared.

This is a real concern for many families in New South Wales. Even when the temperature rises above 30°C and heatwave roll in, some schools still don’t have air conditioning. In fact, a few schools are facing delays of up to 7 years before AC is installed.

Last February, some places hit nearly 40°C. Inside classrooms, thermometers showed mid-30s. Imagine trying to learn in that heat.

The first challenge is keeping students focused. According to James Smallcombe, a heat and health researcher at the University of Sydney, once classroom temperatures climb above 28–29°C, learning starts to suffer. That means high heat can actually lead to poorer exam results.

James explained: “Some of the key issues we’d expect are that students’ cognitive abilities begin to be impaired. This affects things like concentration and the ability to retain information”. 

The second concern is health. Children quickly get dehydrated in the heat. James noted that at high temperatures, kids sweat more and constantly need water to stay hydrated.

Parents also worry about the air quality. “He (Their child) can’t breathe. It’s difficult to breathe because of the high humidity”, one parent said.
