Parents at Queen Elizabeth College are asking why they weren't told about a camera in the girls' bathroom. A high school is reviewing the position of a security camera following backlash by parents over privacy and a lack of communication. Over the school holidays, Queen Elizabeth College, a co-ed secondary school in Palmerston North, installed a security camera inside a female bathroom that had suffered more than $15,600 worth of damage. A single female school administrator could access the footage and the footage would only be viewed if vandalism occurred. The glass bathroom door allowed the camera to see inside the bathroom but could not see more than what a passer-by could.
