“It is hard to comprehend the mindset of anyone who would attack a school in this way.

“The school is a very important educational hub in the upper Rathcoole estate and those responsible for the damage are guilty of an attack chiefly on their own community.

“The school recently received very positive news that funding for our nurture unit is to be extended and this incident will not deter the ongoing improvement of the school.

“I would appeal for anyone with relevant information to pass it to the police who are already investigating the incidents.”
