Disciplinary action will be taken against learners at two Mitchell’s Plain schools, after an altercation broke out in Portland, on Thursday afternoon.
It is understood that learners at Mondale High School were
purportedly dealing with a matter, when learners at Mitchell’s Plain High
School responded by taunting them from across the road. This resulted in stone
throwing during interval.
In a school letter, Mitchell’s Plain High’s Acting
Principal, Rianah Marr Parker, said she met with the deputy principal
of Mondale High School, and resolved the matter. The two separately also hosted
an assembly to caution learners regarding further retaliation.

Parents are being contacted, and those learners may not return to school. Those

and will engage with parents. We ask parents/guardians to assist outside our
school and surrounding areas each day,’’ read the statement.
The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) confirmed the
incident.
