I often get confused with the meaning of 注意. Given that 注意 can also mean
'warn/caution' etc. I assumed that when it means 'advice' it is in the sense
of 'if you don't take my advice it would be a poor decision'. But, this
sentence just seems to be asking for suggestions on nice ways to spend the
summer holidays. Have I misunderstood the sentence? What does 注意 actually
mean?

Meaning of 注意 in the context of advice
> 注意すること

I think this is like 注意事項｛ちゅういじこう｝ which means:  
important points; precautions; points to note; suggestions; hints.

> But, this sentence just seems to be asking for suggestions on nice ways to
> spend the summer holidays.

In this sense, your guess is perfectly correct.

I personally don't think of 「注意」 as "advice" at all like the words 「アドバイス」 or
「助言」. I think the closest translation to 「注意する」 that you can think of in any
case is " _beware_ " or " _warn_ ". So in the case of your sentence:

> みなさん、夏休みのすごし方で注意することを発表して下さい。 = Please all, present the things you would
> warn somebody about as a way of spending summer vacations.

Almost OK. In this case, **注意する** is a intransitive verb which means "take
care" or "pay attention". The speaker (maybe a teacher) wants to let them
(maybe students) present the things that _they each_ would take care of to let
them find the things by themselves.

> みなさん、夏休みのすごし方で注意することを発表して下さい。

It means "Everyone, please present the things you would take care of to spend
the summer holidays".

This 注意 is simply "caution" in the sense of "If you don't follow this, a bad
thing can happen to you." Typical 夏休みの注意 given at school are:

  * 繁華街やデパートに子どもだけで行かないこと。 (or you may receive guidance from a police officer)
  * 水辺など危険な場所へは立ち入らないこと。 (or you may drown)
  * 夜はちゃんと布団をかけて寝ること。 (or you may catch a cold)

If you are thinking of "advice" such as 15日は花火大会に行くと楽しいはず, then that's not
what the teacher is asking about.
