Students must not possess, use, or distribute alcohol, drugs, vapes, cigarettes, or any other substances that may harm their health. This rule applies:

• At school or in any part of the school grounds

• At any school activity or event or school-related event off site

• At Acland House or in any part of their grounds

• When wearing school uniform or representing the school

Important: The school and Acland House sites are strictly drug-free, vape-free, and smoke-free zones.

Consequences: Breaching this rule is a serious matter and may lead to disciplinary action, including suspension.

Support: If students are struggling with substance use or need help, they can speak confidentially with their Ako teacher, the Guidance Counsellor, or a member of the pastoral team. They are here to support your wellbeing.
