Drug and Alcohol Education
This term the Year 7 and 8 students have been participating in a drug and alcohol education programme. The aim of this programme is to educate about the effects that drugs and alcohol can have on the body and hopefully minimize the associated issues that occur in teenage and adult life. So far we have learnt how positive and negative traits can be passed on through generations, especially those linked with addiction, and that as we grow older we need to make positive choices around this. This week we learnt how alcohol affects us. We all walked through an obstacle course normally and then we put on 'beer goggles'. These goggles warped our vision and made us feel what it might be like to be drunk. Although this was fun, we also learnt the negative impact this can have on us, such as injury, alcohol poisoning, poor judgement, organ damage, loss of memory and much more. It definitely pays to avoid it altogether!

ReplyDeleteYou are very right Ariston, it was a lot of fun with the goggles on but definitely not in real life. Thank you for your comment.
DeleteHi Kawakawa, Drugs and Alcohol needs to be addressed, to the future generation, and showing children, the differences of being drunk or being sober.
