From this week we are doubling the number of random searches of students’ bags, jackets and lockers. It’s crucial we keep up an active and visible deterrent so students don’t make daft decisions and bring in something which would endanger our community.

We've never found any weapons or drugs during our random searches - the fact that we actually conduct these searches helps to keep it this way.

Kids, we do OK at school with recycling, but this scares the hell out of me. How can we do much, much better? Tell the student council what you want. I want to hear your ideas. - Mr McMillan.
Behind me is a flowing river of plastic a short distance from the ocean. The lack of waste collection systems in many parts of Asia leads to illegal dumping such as we see here. @SCJohnson is working hard to help, but there's much to be done.
