Concerned schools have asked the Privacy Commissioner about their options for installing CCTV in their bathrooms.
In a bid to deter negative behaviour such as vaping and bullying in the toilets, schools are turning to cameras to monitor student activity.
Privacy Commissioner Michael Webster is urging schools to assess the risks and potential privacy breaches ahead of future installations.
"We absolutely understand the student safety argument, but we also want them to think really hard about student privacy arguments and values as well."
