A police spokeswoman said there was “extensive” damage to the school – including one classroom where all the draws had been rummaged through and paint had been thrown over the walls, floor, toilets and a fridge.

The paint was believed to have been stolen from a shed on the school grounds.

Wires to electrical items had been cut, chair coverings slashed and the toilets had been filled with classroom items – including pictures – and left running.

Paint was also thrown over the outside play area.

A 14-year-old boy and a 15-year-old boy are helping police with their inquiries.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report it online at www.crimestopperswa.com.au.
