Home Hill State High School was broken into over the weekend with the Department of Education confirming the break-in occurred overnight on Sunday, October 15, with damage discovered to the school property on Monday morning.
The incident caused much inconvenience to the school as it was to celebrate its Sports Recognition Parade on Monday morning, forcing the Parade to be postponed to this morning, Thursday, October 19 at 8:45am.
Access to the office was also limited, meaning the school was unable to accept payments and take queries throughout the day.
“The school’s administration building suffered damage to windows and interior furniture such as filing cabinets,” a spokesperson for the Department of Education said.
“No classrooms were affected, and lessons continued as normal.
“The Queensland Police Service has been contacted and the Department will continue to work closely with them as investigations continue.”
Administration staff were relocated to another area of the school while police investigated and cleaning and repairs were undertaken, although regular office administration resumed by Monday afternoon.
“Schools are important community assets that deserve to be protected,” the spokesperson said.
“We want the community to be our eyes and ears and report any suspicious activity to police or contact the School Watch hotline 13 17 88.”
