Burnside High School addressed wider after hours issues in a message posted to Facebook:

“Hey, locals. If you see our gate is shut off Guildford Street, it is because of a spate of anti social behaviour. Our lower fields are being damaged by vehicles, we have had broken windows and signs damaged after hours. The Police are following up our video footage, but the gate will be closed from 3pm to 7am until further notice. Thanks for your support.”
