Grade 5/6 Health Day 

Grade 5/6 Health Day – Drug Education

Last Thursday and Friday our Grade 5 and 6 students took part in a Health Day which revolved around drug education with a big focus on Vaping. 

Over the course of the day specific topics covered included:

•  What is a drug? 
• What is in a cigarette?  
• The effects of smoking on the body 
• What is vaping and the harms around vaping

Students participated in a range of activities, viewed a number of videos and finished with conducting their own research around the harms of vaping. 

Here is some feedback from students about the day as well as some sample research:

I learnt that vaping and drugs are really bad for you and that you should not do it, but it’s a decision that you have to make. I learnt that there are many chemicals in vapes that can cause death and some cancers.  What I found fun about this health day was making the project on Canva.  I included information about vaping and what is inside them, how they are bad for you and how they cause cancer.
