Smokefree and vapefree legal requirements
Schools and kura must display 'no smoking' and 'no vaping' notices. These notices can be combined or displayed separately.
The signs should be at (or immediately inside) every entrance to the school and the outer entrance to every building or enclosed area that is part of the school.
Schools do not need a specific smokefree policy since this is a legal requirement.
