Vandalism Incidents

Dear Parents

Over the past few weeks, our school has unfortunately experienced several incidents of costly and careless vandalism. These include:

• The swing down the bank being set on fire and needing replacement.
• Playground equipment damaged by bolt cutters (Year 4 playground by Sandspit Road).
• A trampoline in the junior playground being filled with sand over the weekend, resulting in significant repair costs.

If you are on school grounds and notice any behaviour that may be harmful to our property, we kindly ask for your assistance. Here’s how you can help:

• Politely ask those responsible to stop and explain the impact of their actions.
• If you feel safe, consider taking photos for later identification or asking for names.
• Contact the police by dialing *555 or 111 if necessary.

Please ensure your safety first and foremost. We would greatly appreciate any support in helping us prevent further damage to our school’s property. Additionally, we remind everyone that children and young people on school grounds during evenings or weekends should always be supervised for their safety and to discourage any destructive behaviour.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our school a safe and positive environment for all.
