Last week, the Penquite Campus had the privilege of hosting Tanya Cavanagh., the CEO of the “Not Even Once” program, who delivered an insightful and impactful presentation on the dangers of vaping. Tanya, who is passionate about educating young people and building their resilience, shared valuable information about the myths and realities of vaping, the deceptive tactics of the vaping industry, and the serious health risks associated with e-cigarettes.
During her visit, Tanya engaged with students in an interactive session, answering their questions and providing them with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions. Her presentation was not only informative but eye-opening, highlighting the importance of staying informed and making healthy choices.
In response to the overwhelming positive feedback from students and the growing concerns among parents, our school is now offering a special session for parents and caregivers. This session aims to equip them with the tools and information they need to have meaningful conversations with their children about vaping. The parent session will cover topics such as recognizing the signs of vaping, understanding the health risks, and strategies for prevention and intervention. Reserve your free seats via this link.
We encourage all parents and caregivers to attend this important session to stay informed and support their children in making healthy choices. Together, we can create a safer and healthier environment for our students.
