Parents blame gastro outbreaks on lack of soap and hand driers in school bathrooms
Children are becoming sick at one of the country’s most modern new schools, parents say, because for three years the board banned soap and hand towels, fearing that they harmed the environment.
The roll at Stonefields School, in an expensive new East Auckland subdivision, has soared to 300 since it opened in 2011. The architecturally designed, decile-9 school is known for innovative education methods, and adherence to principles of environmental sustainability.
