Was your school ever closed due to extreme heat?

While I was at Tafe tonight, one of my classmates asked a question to our teacher as to whether or not landscape businesses have to stop work and allow their workers to go home if the temperature exceeds 40C. That question got me thinking about something I can remember overhearing quite a lot during the Summer when I was a kid, the belief from other schoolkids and parents that primary schools would supposedly have to finish early by law and send kids home if the temperature went above 38C.
My question is, has it ever actually happened to anyone on here or is it simply an old wives' tale?
At my primary school, only the library and the computer room in the back classroom block were air-conditioned. All of the classrooms had those old, ineffective ceiling fans which would just blow hot air around. My high school was exactly the same. I can remember having to sit in class on days where the temperature was 30C +, but I don't know if I was ever at school when it went above 38C. That's something I don't miss; when it was so hot that the paper you were writing on would stick to your arms.
Pretty ridiculous that Australia, of all places, doesn't have air conditioning in every classroom.
