There are two main focuses:
1. School-wide health promotion activities
2. Curriculum teaching and learning programs in HPE. 

The lack of AoD programs leaves students unprepared for societal influences that target the consumption and sale of drugs and alcohol. 

Lack of current knowledge in drugs and alcohol programs and resources available means we lack the ability to educate our students appropriately. 

Our role in the policy is professional development and the ability to maintain up-to-date with current resources available to help our students and others.

They build knowledge and understanding around the ability to keep themselves safe, with AoD and the impacts this has on their Hauora.

What are the consequences for the student?
- This programme allows akonga  develop skills to critically analyse messages about alcohol and other drugs (AoD).
- The programme advocates for harm minimisation. orevati0on and early intervention.
- Provides relevant support strategies

What is the role the teacher polays in the -policy? What are the consequences for kaiako?
- PB4L usage
- Creating a positive learning environment for effective support to stem from
- Building resilience 
- The policy advocates for a while school approach, however, acknowledges the role a teacher must play at a classroom level. ]]> 2022-06-20 22:31:37 UTC https://padlet.com/pburgess19/vlmfuejm2hil8c3t/wish/2226121399 https://padlet.com/pburgess19/vlmfuejm2hil8c3t/wish/2226124431 Implications
As health educators, we may be asked to take a leading role due to our subject specific knowledge. However, in order for the programme to reach the whole school level, collaboration between teachers and departments must occur.



How does it affect the future?
- If delivered correctly, the key messages may be beneficial for future experiences where AoD are present. This will allow for a cohort that has a depth of knowledge surrounding safety in the instance that they may be using AoD.

Critical questions
- Should we be focusing on prevention, or should the focus be on safety strategies?
- Should vapes and e cigarettes' be included/have a lead focus in this programme?]]> 2022-06-20 22:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/pburgess19/vlmfuejm2hil8c3t/wish/2226124431 https://padlet.com/pburgess19/vlmfuejm2hil8c3t/wish/2226127407 What have we learned?
It is the responsibility of the whole school to discuss and implement this AoD policy, not just to be expected of HPE staff. 


How will we use the insights that you have discovered?
Acknowledge this policy is a starting point, also make considerations that this document is 8 years old, and there is additional information and knowledge that can be included to increase relevance. ]]> 2022-06-20 22:44:17 UTC https://padlet.com/pburgess19/vlmfuejm2hil8c3t/wish/2226127407 https://padlet.com/pburgess19/vlmfuejm2hil8c3t/wish/2226129664 Implications:
- Relevance to knowledge
- Creating a healthy school culture
- Societal change
- Safety vs Prevention
How does this affect me as a Kaiako and what is the importance of this resource?
Helps us maintain relevance and understanding of AoD information and programs available.
Professional and personal development.
Critical Questions:

- The importance of staying relevant and up-to-date.
- This needs to be a school-wide approach across a variety of subjects, not just placing the sole responsibility on HPE
- Having an understanding of community and social media pressures to drink and educating students on managing those pressures

How will we use the insights?
- Use it as a guide to further develop our knowledge and education
- Finding supporting resources to back these up 

Posted by Arden, Jade, and Nicole. ]]> 2022-06-20 22:56:37 UTC https://padlet.com/pburgess19/vlmfuejm2hil8c3t/wish/2226134247 https://padlet.com/pburgess19/vlmfuejm2hil8c3t/wish/2226146611 WHAT: 
The purpose of this guide is to provide schools with an introduction to AoD education programmes. There are two main focus contexts; first being, School-wide health promotion activities and secondly, Curriculum teaching and learning programmes in the HPE learning area.

The consequences of AoD programmes could be that teachers do not have enough knowledge and skills to teach/educate our akonga well enough for this to work effectively. Programmes like this would have to be embedded into the school taught over a long period to cater for our akonga's variety learning needs, as stated one off AoD events do not deliver enough information effectively for all students to learn from them. Ensuring the right amount of resources are available to our schools to utilize. 

What is my role in the Policy?
- Our role as Kaiako is to provide a supportive environment to our students, community, and teachers where we model appropriate behavior that will help shape their values, attitudes and behaviors.
- Facilitate quality learning with the specific knowledge, understanding and expertise in order to educate these AoD programmes effectively.

Implications regarding AoD as stated previously would be lack of knowledge, teachers may find it difficult having to educate on a subject they are not confident in. an implication could also be that schools might not being clear enough about the changes and outcomes they want form their akonga, causing them to lead down the wrong path for near future.

How does it affects the future? Why is it important?
- This programme is designed to reduce the use of AoD for our akonga, to build resilience and develop positive behaviors. Leading our akonga to make the right choices in life.  Supporting our students to lead in the right path. It is important to introduce this to our akonga in the early teen stages so that they are exposed (if havent been already) to this content and ensure they know the consequences later in life, to allow a safe environment for akonga to take action.

Critical Questions;

Does this programme meet the needs and interests of our akonga appropriately within the school, what age do we start education ? How young is to young? 

How could we structure the programme so that our intentions are clear and focused specifically on safety or prevention?

I have learnt that AoD programmes like this take time and that it is expected to meet the needs of all akongas learning needs for it to work effectively. To ensure the whole school is on board with the programme with help across a range of departments throughout the school not only HPE.

How will you use the insights you have discovered?
I have acknowledged that this document was published in 2014, so ensuring you have the relevant information to back it up if I was to use this as a resource during my teaching practices. ]]> 2022-06-20 23:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/pburgess19/vlmfuejm2hil8c3t/wish/2226163250
