SECURITY – BOTTOM GATE
The bottom gate seems to be a vulnerable area regarding safety and security. Lots of learners wait there to be picked up by parents, etc. It is not safe down there as there are neither teachers nor adults in the vicinity. Therefore, this gate will be closed at 14:15 and learners will then have to be picked up at the top gate where it is safer.
