From the Principal
As a community we have a greater influence for the development of young people than as a group of individuals. The adage of "it takes a village to raise a child" rings very true.
This phenomenon was reinforced again this week during the community event run by MAG this week. The NotEvenOnce Project group delivered information to parents from the community about vaping and the health risks for young people.

A few weeks ago, we also ran a session for parents about what we do as a school to build a child safe culture and to meet the Child Safety Standards in our community.
Both sessions highlighted that all adults need to be involved with all children. While we have a particular interest and connection to our own children, it is in the best interest of everyone that we look out for all young people and communicate our concerns. The impacts of risky behaviour often spread to people other than those directly involved and so our young people can be harmed, even though they may not be participants in the first place.
I am very proud of the way Moama Anglican Grammar has embraced and supported the opportunities to educate and support our community to keep our young people safe as they grow and develop.
