Unacceptable things at Zeeburg Secondary School

Apr 05, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
On Friday 10th February 2017, it was observed that about twenty students were removed from classrooms at Zeeburg Secondary School and used as labourers to mix cement to make a couple concrete strips. These students were forced to dig the area for the strips, push cement mixed in wheel barrows and were standing in wet cement without any footwear on. Is this what we send our children to school to do?
It is my view that these children were abused by the very persons entrusted to protect them. At the recently concluded end of term test students were forced to pay to write their end of term test, since the school does not have funds, however the same school has erected a CCTV camera system to the tune of over $900,000. Students are literally told if you don’t pay for test you can’t write it.
Can the Ministry of Education say if Zeeburg Secondary is now a private school or a correctional facility? Can parents be given an update as to the Ministry’s position with regards to teachers collecting monies? I am encouraging the media to expose this wrong being dealt out to our children and the relevant authorities to hold the teachers at that school accountable for their actions.
Concerned parent
