Dear Parents. As you are aware, we are currently undertaking alot of work in the school in relation to educating our boys on the dangers of vaping. Vaping is a huge issue in most schools, globally, particularly within the teenage cohort, however, vaping for some students starts as a early as primary school. We need your help , as parents, to speak to the boys about the damge that vaping is doing to their health and to support them if they express a desire to “quit”. Please see below the link to a very informative webinar on “What parents need to know about vaping”.
We will all need to work together, as parents and as a school, in order to help and support our boys to educate themselves on the dangers of vaping.
Thank you, as always, for your help and support.

Vaping, or using E-cigarettes have been identified as harmful to children and young people. The research increasingly shows that more and more young people are drawn to vaping and smoking e-cigarettes over traditional cigarettes. This one hour seminar aims to create parental awareness of the harms of vaping. In the seminar we will explore: what are vapes/e-cigarettes? What is contained in an e-cigarette? What impact does “vaping” have on the adolescent body? Finally we explore some tips for parents in communicating with their young person about the dangers of vaping.
