Boys Washroom Vandalism 

Students, we’ve noticed some vandalism happening in the boys’ bathroom on the main floor. We will be keeping an eye on this. Please remember that our washrooms are shared spaces, which means a shared responsibility to keep them clean and respectful for everyone.

If you see something concerning, please let a staff member know. Let’s work together to take pride in our school and keep it a safe, welcoming place.
