“Because my present school is asthma friendly, I don’t miss out on my school when I am sick. Also I can play after having my blue puffer.” |

Best Entry Years 3-5: Emma (9) from Peter Carnley Anglican Community School
“I want schools to be asthma friendly. It will lessen the risk of death. Some of my friends have asthma. I could be a hero.
This will happen if our school is asthma friendly:
“I am having an asthma attack.” “It is ok. I know what to do.”
This will happen if our school is NOT asthma friendly:
“I’m having an asthma attack.” “Ahh. I don’t know what to do.” |
