Second toilet block

Woy Woy Public School has received a second toilet block for use by the girls at the school.

The toilet block is demountable and consists of three toilet cubicles and a wash area.

"The number of toilets for a school goes on the population of the school according to gender," said principal Ms Ona Buckley.

"Our girl's facilities were short but our boys were within the guidelines," she said.

"These toilets will only be in use for the primary girls over the back classrooms of the school during class times."

"When on the playground at break,s students will access the main toilet block.

"We use a buddy system during class time so students are never attending the toilets alone.

"This makes sure the students are safe and hopefully cuts down on out of class time when there is another student to remind them to get back to class promptly," said Ms Buckley.
