A new security fence has been installed at Richmond North Public School to increase safety for students and teachers.
Londonderry MP Bart Bassett said the fence followed the installation of a CCTV system last May.
‘‘Providing a safe and secure learning environment for students and staff in schools is paramount,’’ he said.
The system was funded by the 2013-14 Minor Capital Works Security Initiatives Program.
‘‘The security fence has added another layer of obstruction to anti-sociable behaviour, hopefully eliminating it completely and making the school environment safe for students, teachers and parents,’’ Mr Bassett said.
Mr Bassett thanked Hawkesbury Councillor Jill Reardon for reacting to parent concerns and bringing the need for the security fence to his attention.
