Say “NO” to drugs!!!

The IGSMR has started a series of evening informative sessions on drugs for parents and teachers. During lessons, the students get nearly the same information.

The first event was organized by detective superintendent Arnold from the Westpfalz police station. 60 parents of pupils from grades 7 and 8 joined the session. 

Detective superintendant Arnold gave examples from his everyday experiences of how adolescents get into contact with drugs. He pointed out the importance of social circumstances showing how “drug careers” started and developed in time.

He made clear that drugs are consumed in every social stratum and therefore no child is 100 per cent protected. He also said, that drugs were playing a role  in every school, even if it happens in different forms. For him it´s very important that children acquire good self esteem from their parents, relatives and school community to take with them.

A “strong, confident” child can estimate the dangers radiating from drugs a lot better and is so able to elude the temptation. Finally the parents could have a look at illegal drugs up close. Detective superintendent Arnold promised the parents to be at their disposal in the future for upcoming problems and questions.

Other information events on our school will deal with the subjects “mobbing” and “violence”.
