A scheduled search carried out by the Department of Education’s Schools Welfare Unit, at the Tutorial High School, unearthed several prohibited items.
The bags of students from several classes were searched and the prohibited items were found, and subsequently confiscated, by the Schools’ Welfare Officers. They were then delivered to the High School’s Headteacher.
This was done to ensure that the learners would not possess banned items while at the facility. Among the items found were knives, scissors, screwdrivers, and razor blades.
The exercise was conducted between 09:45 and 12:00hrs on Thursday morning and was facilitated by Simone Madramootoo, assisted by Latoya Hilliman, Shandella Prashad, Abigail Baveghems, Ronita Williams, and Audrey Abrams-Thomas. Present also were C/Insp. Isaacs, D/Corporal Daniels, D/Lcpl. Thomas, Const. Prince and W/Const. Bess.
