On Wednesday a group of about ten
males allegedly jumped over a fence at Uitsig School and some of them entered a
grade 9 classroom, whereby they assaulted a Grade 9 pupil allegedly with a
piece of wood.
Western Cape Department of Education said
three of the boys were learners from the school and were absent on the day, and
they will be facing disciplinary action.
Ministerial Spokesperson Bronagh
Casey said the WCED is concerned
about this incident and any recent reports of any other forms of
intimidation or violence against learners outside the specific school.
Casey said earlier this week a meeting was
held between WCED officials, the CPF of Ravensmead, SAPS and the SGB of the
school and management team to try and determine ways that we can assist the
school such as extra teachers, increase use of metal detectors and more parental involvement and support” Casey added.
