The topic of teens using vapes in schools has come to the fore after a Dawesville primary school warned parents of their prevalence on campus.

Ocean Road Primary School recently texted parents notifying them children had been bringing vapes to school.

Press PLAY to hear more about the vape warning

Principals Federation of WA Bevan Ripp told Millsy and Karl on 6PR Breakfast they weren’t aware of where kids were acquiring vapes, but were worried about the trend.

“What they did do was try and get ahead with their parents and say, ‘Look, this is starting to happen in our school’,” Mr Ripp said.
