Fire damage at campus

The physical education staffroom and deputy principal's office at Brisbane Water Secondary College senior campus were extensively damaged by fire, smoke and water over the recent school holidays.

The school newsletter reported that costumes, textbooks and assignments were destroyed when the fire broke out.

"It is very unfortunate that people in our community think that this is acceptable behaviour," said campus principal Mr David Beattie.

"The cost to the community, the drain on taxpayer funded facilities, the trauma caused to teachers who have had years of work destroyed, and the impact that this has on students are all very disappointing.

"I am sure that someone in our community knows who is responsible for these actions and I urge you to contact the police so that this can be investigated thoroughly," he said.
