THE SCHOOL DISMISSES THE FALSE NEWS CIRCULATING ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND LOCAL NEWS MEDIA  

NEWS DOING ROUNDS ON FACEBOOK AND WHATSAPP ALLEGING THAT THERE WERE 30 LEARNERS WHO COLLPSED DURING ASSEMBLY IN THE MORNING OF 2022/08/22 ARE FALSE. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED: DURING MONDAY AROUND 7:30 AM ONE LEARNER WHO HAS ANCESTRAL SPIRITS COLLAPSED DURING THE ASSEMBLY. AS A RESULTS IT CAUSED A PANIC ATTACK AND TRAUMATISED OTHER LEARNERS. ONLY 5 LEARNERS WERE AFFECTED AND ALL ARE FEMALE LEARNERS. THE SITUATION WAS UNDER CONTROL. 

THE SCHOOL MANAGEMENT AND SGB HELD A MEETING SHORTLY AFTER THE INCIDENT TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. PARENTS OF THE AFFECTED LEARNERS WERE CALLED TO THE SCHOOL AND ARE AWARE OF THE SITUATION. THE SCHOOL IS ENGAGING WITH OTHER STAKEHOLDERS SUCH AS CONCILORS, DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION , SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND HEALTH. SCHOOL WILL WORK WITH HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO ORGANISE SOCIAL WORKERS FOR THE LEARNER THAT ARE STILL TRAUMATISED BY THE INCIDENT.

WE PLEAD WITH PARENTS NOT TO PANIC AND WE WOULD LIKE TO REITERATE THAT THE SITUATION IS UNDER CONTROL. THE SCHOOL WILL SHORTLY CALL THE PARENT'S MEETING  TO ENGAGE WITH  PARENTS REGARDING THIS MATTER AND THE ISSUE OF BADIMO ON LEARNERS. THE CLASSES HAVE RESUMED AND LEARNERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO COME TO SCHOOL

WHILE THIS MATTER IS STILL ON THE TABLE, THE SCHOOL WOULD LIKE TO BE GIVEN SPACE AND OPPORTUNITY TO DEAL WITH THIS MATTER INTERNALLY. AND YOU ARE TO RECEIVE A  FEEDBACK SHORTLY.
