Smoking and Vaping on or near school sites
We would like to remind all parents about the laws covering smoking and vaping on or near any school site in Victoria.
Smoking and vaping are not permitted on school premises and within 4 metres of school entrances. This also applies to school events held off school premises and excursions. Smoking and vaping are not permitted inside vehicles on school premises and in fact a person must not smoke or vape in a motor vehicle if a person under 18 years is also present in the motor vehicle.
Please note that anyone observed breaking these laws may be reported to the police.
