24 grade 11 students of Warangoi Secondary School will resume studies in Term 3 after the Disciplinary School Board have decided and agreed that they return to school after facing suspension.
The suspension was due students being under the influence of alcohol and destroying school properties, in the dormitories and causing a nuisance on school campus.
The incident occurred during the Easter Weekend when the students were caught drunk and making a scene in the school.
Principal of Warangoi Secondary, Mrs. Naomi Vuvu said the students were suspended for the whole of Term two whilst awaiting a decision to be made on whether the students would be accepted back into the school or not.
“The students’ behaviour in school is unacceptable especially when they behaved in a disorderly conduct.”
“However, fortunately for them, the board has accepted their return but will be put on Good Behaviour bond for the rest of the academic year.”
It is understood though that the students however will each pay k200 before they resume studies in Term 3.
Meanwhile, in better news for the school, the Grade 10 students successfully completed their first National Exams paper which was the Written Expression Examination.
This saw a total of 117 students sit for the exams on Thursday the 01st of June 2023.
Vuvu was pleased with the outcome as students started and finished on time with no issues faced. She also said that the students prepared well and commended the teachers for their great input in making sure of this.
The school also finally received its second quarter of the Government Tuition Fee Subsidy as of last week for the second term.
The total funding given to the school was K254, 000.
Vuvu said though they should have received it at the beginning of the term, the school had just enough from last term to fund the school before receiving the second quarter in Week 7. In addition to this, the school has also put forward a proposal for the extension of its school mess in which
they are still awaiting approval of funding to be given to them by the Provincial Education Department.
“We plan on extending our school mess to cater for other activities as well, both for recreational and academic purposes.”
