POLICE were called when a school fund-raiser for Haiti earthquake victims got out of hand.
St Sampson’s High pupils were allowed to go to school in trainers if they made a £1 donation to the appeal, but about 20 turned up in mufti yesterday morning.
Head teacher Hazel Tetlaw locked them out and called police.
The pupils in casual clothes were told to change into uniform. When they refused, they were ordered off school property and their parents contacted.
The school locked its main doors to prevent them disrupting classes.
Police were called to the school because the pupils had been unruly and abusive, according to Education.
But Year 11 pupil Tiffany Fallaize, 16, said they were being treated unfairly.
Miss Fallaize, who spoke for the group, said that they did want to raise money for Haiti.
School head teacher Hazel Tetlaw was disappointed in the students.
‘They are letting the school down very badly,’ she said.(from thisisguernsey)

Was she right to take this action... your views please...

Riot police down to Vauvert Infants on Monday morning!!!!!!

Of course 'she' was right.

Chavvy pupils try to organise a facebook campaign to completely undermine the school on a day to raise money for those in dire need in Haiti.

Is it so hard to understand 'wear trainers for the day and pay £1'???? The school rightly decided to send the pupils home to change before they could go to lessons. Again, is it really that difficult to understand?!

What's worse is that the mother of the ringleader was encouraging them to do and actually rang the press and sent them down there!

Why can't SOME people can't respect authority these days?
