Smokefree at all times/Auahi kore i nga wa katoa signs are required at all entrances to school/kura grounds and buildings. See Legal requirements for more information about where you must display signs.

Existing signs
Many schools/kura became smokefree before they were required to by law. These can still use existing signs provided a sticker is added that states: At all times/I nga wa katoa.
Create Your Own Sign
Created signs must comply with the requirements of the legislation by stating Smokefree at all times/Auahi kore i nga wa katoa. High resolution versions of the Smokefree or Auahi Kore logo are available from the HSC for use on signs or other art work. Email info@smokefreeschools.org.nz.
Stencils
You can borrow these from the Health Sponsorship Council for use in addition to other signs such as those in entrances and driveways.
Stickers
Stickers for entrances to buildings are also available.
