Our Smokefree School/He Kura Auahi Kore: A practical guide to being a smokefree community – due in your school about mid July 2011.

Our Smokefree School/He Kura Auahi Kore : A practical guide to being a smokefree community is designed to support schools with students in years 1–13 to embrace the smokefree kaupapa.

The guide provides a set of self-review tools that will help schools and their communities to create a profile of their beliefs, attitudes, and behaviours in relation to being smokefree.

Our Smokefree School is intended for boards of trustees, principals, and teachers with responsibility for health at their school. It will also be of interest to any member of a school or school community who wants to support smokefree environments and lifestyles, including public health nurses, students, teachers, and parents.

This resource will help you gather information so that you can understand the issues your community faces and plan an ongoing smokefree initiative that will meet your school’s particular needs.
