A conversation with the Head of College Mr John Weeks Modern schools … old issues in new forms! A few weeks ago I wrote about the broader work which schools do … we are not just about ‘reading and writing’ and ‘arithmetic’. Over the past few months a number of issues have emerged in our communities which are of concern for the health of our young people. One such issue is ‘vaping’. Confused by the term? Just ask a teenager or catch one of the many Youtube clips through a Google search. Twenty years ago we were still teaching children and the community of the significant health risks of cigarette smoking, thankfully most people quit and very few young people have taken it up. Fast forward to today and the E-cigarette has landed with enormous claims about its safety. No doubt you have seen some of these in action as a person inhales a large cloud of ‘vapour’. I suspect that in the near future there will be even greater restrictions placed with the sale and access of these E-cigarettes and the Vapes that go with them. So now we address this emerging issue, if as researchers say, the uptake is increasing? The answer is education, both from home and school. Let’s understand what this is, how and where it is available from and the health impacts. For parent’s the following link should prove helpful so please take time to read it. https://www. focusonthefamily.com/parenting/the-truth-about-vaping-help-for-parents/ Here at the College, the PDHPE staff will ensure that through the health curriculum students are made well aware of the health risks from vaping and as always, to make good choices for their health.
