Identifying the risk of e-cigarettes
E-Cigarettes or 'vaping' is a health and safety concern for students and young people in our community who are often unaware of the risks associated with the practice.
The NSW Department of Education has advised schools that students should not bring e-cigarettes or e-cigarette accessories onto school premises or use them during school-based activities.
Consistent with the Department of Education and school policy - vaping, selling, or having e-cigarettes will result in disciplinary action that may lead to a student being suspended from school.
