SANTA CRUZ, St Elizabeth — Hysterics, fainting spells, and reports of "demonism", described by Education Minister Ronnie Thwaites as a "health scare", have caused a mass exit of students from the Sydney Pagon Agricultural High School at Elim in north-east St Elizabeth over recent days.
Thwaites and the Ministry of Education's Regional Director Nadine Leachman told journalists yesterday that they were hoping for a resumption of "full" operations at the boarding school on Monday. "There is a health scare. I am pleased that the regional director has acted quickly and so have the health authorities, and I am told the worst has passed. We are very sorry to hear about it and we trust that on Monday there can begin full and secure operations. I am told that this morning (yesterday) things are much calmer, students who were affected are improving...," Thwaites said.
Leachman, who along with Thwaites, were guests at Siloah Primary School's prize-giving ceremony, told journalists that many parents came and collected their teenaged children following news that "students (were) getting all hysterical about spirits and things". She said some students were still on the campus, though the majority had left. read more.....
