The department will not investigate the 12 learners but rather allegations that racism exists at the school. The committee handed over the report to the governing body on Friday, which examined discussions on the WhatsApp group as part of the evidence presented against the pupils. The matter led to the department placing the school’s principal on precautionary suspension for 90 days, pending an investigation into allegations that she had ignored complaints of racism from learners.
The school updated its policy at the beginning of the 2024 academic year to stipulate that “hair must be the same colour from root to tip”.
