Graham’s Hall Primary is in a crisis

Nov 01, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor,

Graham’s School is grappling with an escalating crisis that extends beyond a mere water shortage. Urgent attention from relevant authorities is needed to address an array of pressing issues that pose significant threats to the health, safety, and overall functionality of the school.

Water Crisis, Traffic Chaos, and Pedestrian Perils:

The water scarcity issue at Graham’s School is exacerbated by empty water tanks, leaving the school community without essential resources for hygiene and sanitation. Concurrently, chaotic parking on the road has led to vehicles getting stuck, creating a hazardous environment. The absence of police presence to control traffic for the temporary two-way flow and the lack of designated pedestrian crossings intensify the risks faced by parents and students navigating the school premises.

Inadequate Infrastructure and Emergency Preparedness:

The deteriorating state of washroom facilities, with missing bolts, handles, and water for flushing, poses a direct threat to the health and well-being of students, particularly young girls. Furthermore, the absence of a secondary exit in the event of an emergency compounds the safety concerns. The sole gate, small and not easily accessible, raises serious apprehensions about the school’s preparedness to handle a calamity effectively.

Call to Urgent Action:

Graham’s School urgently implores relevant authorities, including local representatives and government agencies, to comprehensively address these critical issues. From the water crisis to traffic management, pedestrian safety, and the dire state of infrastructure, swift and decisive action is imperative for the well-being and safety of our students. Neglecting these concerns not only compromises the health and safety of the school community but also poses a serious threat to the functionality of the school in times of emergency. The responsibility to intervene rests with those entrusted with the welfare of educational institutions, and immediate measures are needed to avert a potentially catastrophic situation.
