EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Water-Cheek! thieves have pulled the plug on pupils nature watching activities" we are transported back to the year 1987 at Hustler School in Middlesbrough. The image captures a moment of despair as staff and students arrive to discover that their beloved school pond has been stolen by a gang of audacious thieves. The pond, which served as the heart of a small nature sanctuary lovingly created by both staff and pupils, was not only a source of beauty but also an educational tool for these young minds. It provided them with an opportunity to observe and learn about various flora and fauna firsthand. Now, all that remains is an empty space where once vibrant life thrived. Two despondent pupils, Claire Wilson and Nicola Charlton, stand before us in the photograph, their expressions mirroring the shock and disappointment felt by everyone present. Their dreams of exploring nature's wonders shattered by this brazen act of theft. This image serves as a stark reminder of how crime can impact even the most innocent aspects of our lives. It highlights not only the loss suffered by Hustler School but also raises questions about society's values when such acts occur within educational institutions. As we reflect on this poignant moment frozen in time, let it serve as a testament to resilience and determination. May it inspire future generations to protect what they hold dear while reminding us all that even amidst adversity, hope can be found through unity and collective action.
