Alcohol and Drugs
Student involvement with drugs or alcohol will not be tolerated in any way while at VCS. The following guidelines will apply:
a) If a student is found to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the student will be suspended for the day. Parents will be notified and students will be required to meet with a student counselor.
b) If a student is found to be in possession of drugs or alcohol, the student will be suspended for a minimum of three days, parents will be notified and students will be required to meet with a student counselor.
c) Repeat violations will result in suspensions of up to 10 days.
d) Considering that possession of alcohol is illegal under the age of 19 in the Province of Saskatchewan, students are to be discouraged from talking about activities in which they have engaged in alcohol consumption. Noon period detentions may result at the discretion of VCS staff.
e) If a student is found to be in possession of a schedule 1, 2, or 3 drug (http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-38.8/) , the RCMP will be notified immediately as this is a violation of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. The RCMP will also be notified immediately in any instance of alcohol or drug trafficking.
