A second South Australian high school has made the decision to remove doors from student toilets, outraging parents.
The move by Modbury High School comes days after the principal of Golden Grove High School in Adelaide sent a letter to parents and caregivers about the school's decision to remove doors from toilets.
Photos of the student toilets at Modbury High School, in Adelaide's north-eastern suburbs, shows urinals that are in view of students who walk by.
There are reports a 'smell' has begun to seep throughout the school's corridors as a result of the alteration.

South Australia's Education Department had not enforced the removal of doors from toilet facilities and the decision was believed to have been made by the high school.
The school had locked outside cubicles which had forced students to use the toilets that are now without an exterior door.
A mother of two children who attend the school claims 'privacy and use of toilets had been an issue for at least 12 months'.
She claimed that as a result, some students had held on instead of going to the toilet for such a long period of time that it had 'caused urinary tract infections', she told The Advertiser.
The mother claims some students had even resorted to 'urinating on the walls'.
'This is putting children through psychological and physical distress and harm,' she said.
