Security review after scooter theft

Woy Woy South Public School will reassess its security measures after the theft of a number of scooters at the start of the month.

School principal Mr Terry Greedy said this was not the first incident of theft to occur in recent times.

"Last week we had some intruders enter the school grounds during the day and steal scooters from the bike compound," Mr Greedy said.

"To guard against the loss of a bike or scooter, students have been advised to lock these items when they are left in the compound.

"Unfortunately the items taken last week were not padlocked, making them an easy target for the intruders.

"We have contacted school security and renewed our efforts to have a security fence installed to make the school less accessible to lawbreakers.

"A representative from the School Security Directorate will be visiting the school to carry out an assessment of school security needs.

"One of the initiatives we are presently working on is tightening up the procedures for volunteers and visitors to the school so that we have a clear understanding of who is onsite and the purpose of their visit."
