Bishop Lavis school urges community to help fight break-ins

CAPE TOWN - A Bishop Lavis principal is calling on the community to be the school's eyes and ears to combat break-ins.

Computer hard drives, an aircon and the telecoms system are among the items stolen over the past few months.The lights, cameras and even the fire hose are all caged and at every turn there's a gate with a lock."The solution is physical security, 24 hours a day and if parents can become partners, then it will work."

Teacher Madeniah Adams says that thieves often vandalise important teaching material and children's books. "There's the trauma attached to it and automatically there's a delay in the quality of the work we need to deliver. Administratively at the moment, we have nothing.""It is breaking us down. We get these opportunities from the school... I know it''s hard because we live in Bishop Lavis but we need to be strong. This is a school.

Police can do this 🤔
