Lack of soap in public school toilets in Thornlie

Open letter to Margery Evans, Deputy Director General, Schools


Thank you for your recent letter, I am amazed that this issue exists in our society, I understand the reasons for not having soap in the toilets, but to simply deny something to stop the vandalism seems to be a major cop out, and a health dept which can not make principals do the right thing, what is the use of that, instead of trying to fix the issue they will take the easy path and simply deny yhe resourse, we all know that you need to wash your hands immediately after using the toilet, what about the issue of girls using tampons etc, I believe it is disgusting that this can go on, if you were to visit a school would you shake hands with a student, would you eat food they have prepared, local councils say they have no control yet they inspect the canteens, if the health dept has no say because it is crown land, then how can you control health related issues within the schools, I realise that it is hard to supervise kids while they are in the toilets, and that kids use toilets as places to wag schoo, smoke and other thnig, I believe that most parents are ignorant of the fact that their kids can't wash their hands, we all know that when one kid gets gastro, most of kids catch it, I wonder why, and the worst thing is that I believe my kids habits are changing, they tend to not wash when at home, how any one can be supportive of this "policy" is beyond me!
