The Valencia High School was targeted by thieves during the vacation, with several valuable items stolen while contractors carried out maintenance works.

According to Principal Kevin Cummings, the school was secured on July 7 for the break, and contractors were granted access by the Ministry of Education to perform repairs. Some contractors reportedly sub-contracted additional work to others..

When the school reopened on September 8, staff discovered that several items were missing, including an OHAUS Scientific Scale valued at $4,500, a Proctor Silex Kettle ($300), a 20ft 10amp extension cord ($300), three fans valued between $350 and $500, and six small knives worth $600. Th
