Andrews to lobby Minister

Member for Gosford Ms Marie Andrews has pledged to lobby State Education and Training Minister Ms Verity Firth for the installation of a security fence at Woy Woy South Public School.

Ms Andrews said the issue was a matter of urgency after a spate of vandalism attacks over the past month causing damage and additional cleaning at the Ocean Beach Rd school.

"This is a lovely school community at Woy Woy South and it is heartbreaking for the staff and students to see their school treated with such disrespect," Ms Andrews said.

"I would encourage anyone who has witnessed any acts of vandalism at this school or any other school to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000."

Ms Andrews met with staff and members of the school's P&C to discuss the issue and listen to their concerns on May 17.
