two years and they still can't figure out what the smell is? sounds like the council is running the investigation 🤡

Blake Turner2026-07-02T17:40:23.000Z

exactly my point. I've been saying that for ages mate

Sophie Ngata2026-07-02T18:26:23.000Z

poor kids having to put up with that. hope they get to the bottom of it soon.

Blake Turner2026-07-02T18:47:23.000Z

probably the drains again. whenuapai has been having sewerage issues for years.

Eva Anderson2026-07-02T19:04:23.000Z

lol cope. bet they still charge you for the school trip though

Finn Walker2026-07-02T19:18:23.000Z

meanwhile the school board is probably more worried about the uniform policy than actual health hazards

Cameron Diaz2026-07-02T19:25:23.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed council. sort your shit out

Sophie Ngata2026-07-02T19:48:23.000Z
