Tough anti-vape laws in Western Australia may prohibit students from attending functions like school formals.
Students in public schools who are caught using vape pens will lose their “good standing” with the school, which puts them at risk of being barred from graduation, school functions, and other events.
It coincides with the fact that in WA government schools last year, 2,000 students faced suspensions for vaping.
The Education Minister stated, “We are sending a clear message to the parents and students of Western Australia that vaping is dangerous and we should stop it.”
Given the extreme hazard of this material, we must make it very clear that vaping is not permitted.
In five to seven years, a mandated anti-vaping programme is supposed to be implemented.
Neil Smith of the WA Primary Principals Association is advocating for an earlier introduction of the programme.
Perhaps if the educational programme gets underway sooner, we can start modifying some of the kids’ behaviour.
A trial of vape detectors by the education department has spread to ten public high schools.
