As part of the PSHE syllabus, the Form 7s have been learning about the effects of drugs. To complement this, Police Scotland came in to talk to them about the law and alcohol and drugs. They began by stating the law and legalities of alcohol, before allowing the children to try on some "Beer Goggles" - goggles that mimic what it is like to be drunk. There were lots of stumbling and laughing!

Attention was then turned to illegal drugs. The police discussed some of the effects and consequences of using illegal drugs before showing actual examples of what they looked like.

It was incredibly interesting and informative; thank you, Police Scotland.
