Dear Secondary School Student Community,

The PE department fully supports your quest to be active in the gym at lunchtimes using our shared equipment. Unfortunately some/many of you are unable to respect and take care of our shared equipment.

There will be NO badminton equipment used until a solution from the students (who use the equipment) can be found to ensure respect and care is taken towards our equipment.

Please check the photo’s for evidence.

Come and see Mr Dutton if you have any ideas on how YOU can do this? (Might even be a service learning opportunity)
