The principal of Rivervale Primary School has been forced to take drastic action against the public after one of his students accidentally sat in dog poo

“One primary school principal has had enough… he is closing the school’s oval,” 6PR Breakfast host Gareth Parker said.

“Why? Well, dog poo, to put it frankly.”

Principal Mark Burns took to local Facebook page Belmont Community Vibes on Monday to reveal his decision.

“Hello, I am sorry to announce that the Rivervale Primary School oval is closed to dog walkers until further notice,” Mr Burns wrote.

“We had several students step in dog poo today and one student sat in it and had to go home as he was in such a mess.”
