A video showing a group of older learners, who have since appeared in court, assaulting a younger pupil sparked widespread outrage, prompting calls for urgent intervention.

The school Principal Gert JP van Tonder described the incident as “shocking and distressing for the entire community” and said it “violates our core values”.

“This is not who we are,” Tonder said.

“What we stand for is clearly expressed in our vision and mission statements, which calls on us to nurture a community of integrity, care, and excellence.”
