Stories from Mr Scott Young
Bullying. No Way!
Recently we have seen on the television, read in the press, or heard about cases of bullying at schools or in the workplace. I would like to take this opportunity to provide some information about this issue and offer some strategies for dealing with victims and perpetrators.
School Zones and Traffic
Could I please remind parents that the rules and regulations for school zones operate from 8.00am-9.30am and 2.30pm-4.00pm. There are no exceptions to these times during gazetted school days.
Binge Drinking
Recently I have been reading some material to do with binge drinking and the increased abuse of alcohol by teenagers within Australia.
It is disappointing to hear about cases where teenagers are supplied with alcohol by older siblings or by parents to attend parties or celebrations. Is it provided because these children cannot enjoy themselves without drinking alcohol? This is not only breaking the law it is placing these loved ones at risk.
Some deafening facts have been presented by the National Binge Drinking Campaign.
Human Swine Influenza
New Pandemic Phase Protect
On Wednesday 17th June the Federal Government through the Australian Department of Health and Ageing (ADHA) moved the alert status of H1N1 Influenza 09 to Pandemic Phase Protect. I have provided a summary of information from the ADHA which includes some frequently asked questions and answers to clarify the new policy for parents and students.
