Good morning Noah
Please find below PNBHS reply to your OIA request regarding e-cigarettes:

No internal emails or memos/ no students stood down or suspended for
smoking e-cigarettes or vaping; in terms of policies. vaping was added to
the school rules; staff can refer vapers etc to the Deans. 

Kind regards

Karen

Subject: Official Information request - Vapes in school + staff policy
 
Dear Palmerston North Boys' High School,

Noah Fitzgerald from the Stuff website here.

Under the Official Information Act 1982 I would like to request
information on the illicit usage of e-cigarettes at Palmerston North Boys'
High School by students including:
- Internal memos and/or emails relating to the usage of e-cigarettes/vapes
at school by students with board members or senior staff members.
- Your policy on what staff should do if they catch a student using an
e-cigarette.
- Cost of implementing no vaping signs + policies on no vaping.
- The number of students suspended/stood-down for using e-cigarettes
whilst at school.

Written confirmation of receipt of this request would be appreciated and
if I can be of assistance or further clarification is required please do
not hesitate to get in touch.

Yours faithfully,
Noah Fitzgerald.

Good morning
Please find below the responses to your OIA questions:

- Cost of implementing no vaping signs + policies on no vaping.
- The number of students suspended/stood-down for using e-cigarettes
whilst at school.
None specifically for vaping. One for continual disobedience which
included vaping.

Kind regards

Karen
