PRIVATE schools have warned that forcing them to be more transparent about their finances and results could lead to "ideological bullying", fearful parents and communities, and political agendas.

From next year, all schools will be required to publicly disclose information about their fees, resources and results as a condition of billions of dollars in federal funding.

Drugs & Alcohol

The biggest concern for parents of school aged children is alcohol abuse. Although recreational drug use is a reality, alcohol is the most commonly used drug for this age group.

The Australian Drug Foundation produces a series of booklets for parents on dealing with the use of alcohol, party drugs, cannabis and heroin and offers speakers on a number of related topics. The booklets are available from the ADF by calling 03 9278 8100 or 1800 069 700 or visit the ADF website for more details.
