墨尔本一所州立中学发生墙壁倒塌事件，该校多年来一直寻求升级改建学校设施。
周一上午9点刚过，Canterbury Girls’ Secondary College C楼的一堵墙就发生了倒塌，大量砖块和玻璃掉落到下层的地板还有楼梯上，现场一片狼藉。
坍塌发生在上课时间，所幸没有人受伤，但是当时在校的有100多教职员工还有1000多学生。
去年出于安全考虑，这堵被怀疑有倒塌风险的墙被封闭隔离，但是今年开学学生返校的时候，并没有继续拦住这面墙。
校长Mary Cannon博士知会学生家长们，现在校内划了一个“非常大的禁入区”，并已向当局报告。
尽管学校位于相对高端的Canterbury区，但多年来，其（老旧）建筑一直需要升级改建。
2018年《我的学校》网站报道称，该学校仅收到61200澳元的联邦资本支出，州政府则提供了18.4万澳元，总资本积累预算为640600澳元。
Kew的议员，Tim Smith说Canterbury Girls’ Secondary College“多年来一直被工党政府所忽视”。
Smith先生在2016年的时候对议会说，该校40多年来没有对其建筑物进行投资改建，其中一些建筑物已有超过90年的历史了。
他说：“那所学校急需资金注入，Monbulk区州议员James Merlino需要知道这所学校现在需要他的关注。”
《先驱太阳报》正在征求教育部门和学校理事会的意见。

A wall has collapsed at a state high school which has been seeking urgent upgrades to its facilities for years.
A wall in C Block at Canterbury Girls’ Secondary College collapsed just after 9am on Monday, sending bricks and glass crashing onto the floor immediately below and onto a staircase two floors below.
No one was hurt as the collapse occurred during class time, but the school had more than 100 staff and 1000 student on site at the time.
The wall in question was closed off last year amid safety concerns, but was not fenced this year when the students returned to class.
Principal Dr Mary Cannon told parents there is now a “very large exclusion zone in place” which had been reported to authorities.
Although the school is situated in up-market Canterbury, its physical buildings have been in need of up upgrade for some years.
The 2018 My School website reports the school received just $61,200 in federal capital expenditure, $184,000 from the state government and had a total capital accumulated budget of $640,600.
Member for Kew. Tim Smith, said Canterbury Girls Secondary College “had been ignored by successive Labor governments for many years.”
In 2016 Mr Smith told parliament that the school had no substantial investment in its buildings — some of which are now 90 years old — for over 40 years.
“That school requires urgent investment and James Merlino needs to understand the school needs his attention right now,” he said.
The Herald Sun is seeking comment from the Education Department and the school council.
