ACT High School Resource Pack
The Youth Smoking Prevention and Cessation Resource Pack has been developed by The Cancer Council ACT (TCCACT), in partnership with ACT Health and the ACT Department of Education and Training (ACTDET). The aim of the Resource Pack is to provide comprehensive support to ACT high schools, working as a whole school community in partnership with parents and the wider community, to address youth smoking prevention and cessation.
ACT high schools first received training in implementing this Resource Pack in late June 2007, with a copy of the Pack being distributed, free of charge, to every ACT high school in June/July 2007.
A User Guide for ACT High Schools has also been developed to assist schools in implementing the resources and provide background information on the Pack’s development.
The Resource Pack has been developed to be a dynamic tool kit, which will be updated as new resources, research and/or initiatives are developed to ensure that schools have the capacity to tackle these issues using a current best practice, evidence based approach. Ongoing development and support for schools using this Resource Pack will be provided by ACTDET, with TCCACT continuing to provide complementary assistance to schools under TCCACT’s Tobacco Control Services Program.
