Report intruders, says principal
Woy Woy South Public School has reported at least one incident of antisocial behaviour and vandalism every weekend over the past few weeks, according to school principal Mr Terry Greedy.
Mr Greedy said it was not uncommon for the school to have graffiti attacks, malicious damage or rubbish left over from intruders entering the school grounds after hours.
"Two weeks ago a number of youths were apprehended in the school administration block after unlawfully entering the building," Mr Greedy said.
"Fortunately police and security were able to respond immediately to the situation and retrieve the items stolen.
"With the increase in young people entering the premises, we have been successful in increasing security visits and police patrols through the school grounds.
"Until we are able to have a security fence erected, these measures will ensure the opportunities for intruders to enter the grounds and cause damage to our school property will be limited.
"Unless there is a community group using the school facilities, there should not be anyone within the school grounds on the weekend and I would encourage anyone seeing people on the premises during the weekend to make contact with the local police or school security on 1300 880 021 so that the learning environment our children share remains undamaged and continues to provide for the needs of all students."
