A public high school's decision to remove the front doors of toilet blocks in order to create 'non-gendered' facilities has been met with fury among parents.
In a letter sent to parents and caregivers, Principal of Golden Grove High School in Adelaide, Peter Kuss, advised the changes to the current toilet facilities had been implemented.
'The health, safety and wellbeing of all young people is important to us. We understand that accessing toilet facilities whilst at school can cause anxiety for some students,' Mr Kuss wrote in the letter.
