External dates are banned while schools say parents can no longer enjoy a glass of wine at graduation events.
Students at dozens of Sydney high schools have been banned from bringing a date to their year 12 formal under a new policy which also forbids parents from enjoying a glass of wine at end-of-year celebrations in the name of safety.
The policy applies to year 12 graduation dinners, formals and other events, as well as end-of-school celebrations for year 6 students at the archdiocese’s 147 systemic Catholic schools.One mother of a year 12 student, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said parents felt it was an overreach by the school to police their drinking.“What bothers me the most is the mixed message it sends to our children.
“The content of this policy is not a direct response to media matters around school formals from previous years,” they said. Parenting expert Dr Justin Coulson said parents should set an example for their children by not drinking alcohol for one night. He said schools also had the right to decide if partners were allowed.
