Logos Christian School strives to provide equal opportunities in education, and hence does not
discriminate in its educational programs, and activities and employment practices on the basis of age,
race, colour, national or ethnic origin, sex, sexual orientation, disability, or religion.
No Smoking School
There is medical proof that smoking has a detrimental effect to the health of those that smoke and on
those people who are in the company of smokers. It is important that we encourage all people to consider
the consequences of smoking to themselves and others around them. Logos Christian School also wants
to play a major role in working towards non-smoking being seen as the norm in society and we believe
that our students need to receive consistent messages and require non-smoking role models within the
school.
Purpose
1. To provide a non-smoking school site which protects the health of all members of the school
community and visitors who come to the school.
2. To promote the benefits of not smoking and educate the pupils of the school as to the harmful
effects of smoking.
Guidelines
1. The school site including all buildings and grounds has been designed as a No Smoking Area.
2. Visitors to the site will be notified that the school is a no smoking area. Any visitor to the site who is
seen smoking will be asked not to smoke while at school site.
3. All applicants for posts at the school will be notified that the school has a no smoking policy
4. The pupil’s image of smoking will be sought and where necessary challenged.
5. Pupils who smoke or bring cigarettes on the site are disobeying a school rule and must expect to be
punished. All cigarettes will be confiscated and parents will automatically be notified.
6. Parents will be encouraged to support the school in helping to maintain a non-smoking school site
and in educating their sons and daughters in the dangers of smoking.
Conclusion
It is hoped that by these actions we can maintain a no smoking school site fro the benefit of all who use
it. By this policy we would hope to raise the awareness of pupils, staff and visitors to the dangers of
smoking.
