As part of our Health and Wellbeing at Inveralmond Community High School, we have invited the Teenage Cancer Trust to speak to our S2 students on the 9thof October about cancer and health.
Who are the Teenage Cancer Trust?
Teenage Cancer Trust is a national charity dedicated to help young people fight cancer. Teenage Cancer Trust's national Understanding Cancer Education presentation is endorsed by the Government as it raises awareness of cancer which can lead to earlier diagnosis of cancer in the long term.
What information will the presentation include?
The presentation will last for around an hour and is an interactive opportunity for students to learn about and discuss:
- What cancer is
- Common Signs and Symptoms
- The impact of cancer on a young person
- Types of Treatment
- Healthy Living
By the end of the presentation, all students should know more about early warning signs and how they can reduce their risk of cancer later in life.
The presentation will be done in a sensitive way, but if you do not want your child to be part of this, please let their tutor teacher know.
