A locally produced film encouraging students to keep away from methamphetamine will be premiering on July 30 at Mahurangi College.
The film is a collaboration between Springboard and former police officer Bede Haughey. It tells the true story of a 17-year-old girl in Snells Beach, who took her own life after her family fell apart due to meth use.
Next term the film will be shown to Year 11 to encourage them not to try meth even once.
Springboard will also make a presentation to students and they will have the chance to talk to former meth addicts.
Senior Constable Jon Williams says methamphetamine is a national problem, and he is proud that the Mahurangi community is trialling a solution.
The film will show in the hall at Mahurangi College at 7pm on Thursday, July 30. All welcome.
