Re: Schoolies Weekness

Whilst I can't talk for the school, a spark Driver who was a student at St
Kevin's said that he recalls this problem when he went there (don't know if
he was an offender or not) and the schools approach was, "They are not our
responsibility once they leave the school area." I have been told that in
Met days, the Met threatened to run trains express through Heyington during
school finishing times if the school didn't control the situation, it
improved for a while I'm told.

On the question of disipline at the school, several weeks ago there was a
number of large plastic bread containers thrown over the fence of the school
onto the railway tracks, the local (line) Ganger went into the school to
complain, (he took the evidence with him), he was told "Our pupils wouldn't
do that" he asked well who did and was fobbed off, they weren't interested.

So whats the point of complaining??? The school isn't interested.
