Why We Need to Renovate the Toilets!

Real Kids Voices

Persuasive piece by Ava and Charlie, age 10. Echuca VIC. Yorta Yorta Country.

Dear Mrs B,

We know the toilets are yuck but no more!

We, the students, will do anything for a new toilet block. We will even make a fundraiser to show how much we want it!

Just please, please, please give us what we want!

After a bit of investigating, we found two holes in the wall, toilet paper on the roof, marks on the mirror, and something on the walls. The sink is coming off the wall and the locks are stiff and hard to open. The impact is a lot of the time it feels like you're stuck because it is near impossible to get out.

Most of Level Three agree that the toilets need to be renovated for a number of reasons. The most important reasons are that the sink is on its last life and one of the doors looks like it is about to fall off. This is a dangerous environment for children!

Hygiene is most definitely important and we need clean toilets to help maintain good hygiene. The toilets are getting disgusting and some toilets aren't even flushing! Importantly, there are no sanitary products for the 3-6 girls toilets. That's crazy! Girls demand dignity!

Mrs B, please examine our text and consider our essay. You would be the school hero, just for doing the right thing and fixing our toilets!
