Smoking, Alcohol and Other Drugs 

Student smoking, vaping, drinking alcohol and taking any drugs is not permitted on or near school premises or during school-sponsored study trips or events. 

Questions of substance abuse are addressed in guided lessons within Advisory, Life Skills, Science and other courses. Any student found smoking, vaping, or drinking alcohol will be supported in an appropriate manner to secure their safety and well-being.  

Any student known to have used drugs or substances which may alter behaviour or states of mind, or in any other way interfere with one’s normal consciousness, is prohibited at PYD. Violation will lead to immediate expulsion from the school.

Our school campus is also a non-smoking zone for all adults.
