What's with the portaloos?

BY CRISTIANO STELLA & JAY HO



How did anybody ever think these portaloos (portable toilets) bang smack in the middle of the quad was a good idea?!

If you ever get seen walking out of one of these portaloos, there is no going back. 

Your life at University High School is over; might as well move to another school and hope that your reputation doesn’t follow you. The word “discreet” was not considered in the installation of these portaloos in the middle of the quad. while doing your business you can be seen from the library, the canteen and the 100’s; you are vulnerable to be seen from the whole school. A person using these portaloos should be glad that we have a phone ban!


Even taking these photos caused hassle; having to go to the office to get someone to follow us to the portaloos to open them and wait for us to finish taking the photos. Imagine if you needed to use the portables to actually go to the toilet, you have to have someone waiting for you to finish your business and you feel if I spend a long time in here they are going to judge me.

None of these problems amounts to the space inside the portaloo. The space inside of the portaloo is tiny, a baby would find it hard to squeeze in them. Back to the toilet scenario; you finished your business. The clean-up is horrific having to move around in the small petite space washing your hands and trying to get paper towels, is terrible. These portaloos are pointless.
