As part of their curriculum, year 9 students from Moss Vale High School presented an exhibition on Monday, August 28 in their school hall to showcase their knowledge on the area.
The school's inaugural health expo called "making informed decisions now and in the future" saw them display an array of informative exhibits and interactive activities for other students and staff.
A lot of research, time and effort went into the task.
Moss Vale High School teacher Dea Cowen said this was an important opportunity for the teenagers to learn and understand about alcohol and sexual health.

"The expo was an assessment task to conclude and consolidate their unit on alcohol and sexual health," Ms Cowen said.
"They worked in groups on a chosen topic area related to the units studied.
"Each group had to provide information on their chosen topic area, educate others and have visiting members participate in an attention grabbing activity."
Ms Cowen said all the exhibitions were amazing, but there were two winning groups.
The first group consisted of Connor Beveridge, James Smith and Mark Simms who based their presentation on myths about alcohol.
The second winning group of Tayah Noar, Lucy Nash and Karina Stone focused on Australia's drinking culture.
Topics from the other exhibitions included alcohol poisoning, safe sex and barrier methods and conception and pregnancy.
