Developing a whole-school drug education plan

The workshop is for Principals, Deputy Principals and those in a leadership role within the school. This is not a curriculum-focused workshop.

Having a Whole-School Drug Education Plan is supportive of staff as well as students in that it focuses on procedures for responding to student drug use as well as classroom-based drug education.

This full-day course provides participants with the opportunity to:

  • understand how to build a Whole-School Drug Education Plan (described in the resource as School Drug Education Guidelines),
  • develop Procedures for Incident Management and Intervention Support to ensure a consistent response within the plan to address concerns around student drug use, and
  • discuss the way in which Whole-School Drug Education Plans can improve the school environment and enhance staff and student wellbeing.

It is useful if this workshop is attended by at least two staff members from each school. This allows good collaboration relevant to the participant’s own school context when working to build the plan in the afternoon session.

For Department of Education Schools, this workshop will guide you through the development of your Whole-School Drug Education Plan as consistent with requirements outlined in the Student Behaviour Policy and Procedures.

The workshop is free and certificates of participation will be issued on completion. SDERA will provide support for teacher relief.
