Students suspended over Fighting

Grade 10 male students of Kila Kila Secondary School in Port Moresby are all on two days suspension as of yesterday due continues fighting that started last week with the new grade 9 students. 

Deputy Principal Mr Philemon Geidilo said the situation had gotten out hand that the school had no choice but to suspend the grade 10 boys who had instigated the fight.

“The fight has gotten out hand with some of the grade 9 students being seriously injured while stones were thrown at PMV buses when they were fighting outside the school gate”

“We have given 2 days suspension to the grade 10 boys and we also instructed them to bring their parents on Friday to meet with the school Board and if they don’t bring their parents, they get an open transfer out letter” said Mr Geidilo.

Mr Geidilo said they’ve been dealing with fighting every year when school resumes and this has been an ongoing issue for the school every year.

“This has been like tradition among the students every year and it’s always the same case with the grade 10 boys belting up the grade 9 boys and we are suspecting that this sort of behaviour involves underground cult activities that the school is not aware off”

He said the school will be investigating this chronic issue and will be making sure that tougher penalties will be applied to those students that are involved in fighting.
