Our Smokefree Schools - a practical guide (2011)

This new practical planning guide is designed to support schools with Years 1 - 13 students to embrace the smokefree/auahi kore kaupapa.  It contains practical advice for principals and Boards of Trustees on how to take small steps or make major change towards embedding smokefree lifestyles into the culture of your school. 

The guide includes tools to help your school and community create a profile of beliefs, attitudes and behaviours in relation to being smokefree/auahi kore.  The information you gather will enable you to plan goals for your school's smokefree/auahi kore journey.
