The Director of Education for the Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington Catholic School Boards has issued a statement regarding a assault that took place in Cobourg earlier this week.
Michael Nasello stated he was “appalled” when he heard about the incident that involved students from St Mary Catholic Secondary School in Cobourg.
“As a Director, my heart goes out to the student who was injured in what appears to be a vicious, unprovoked attack.”
“This behaviour is absolutely unacceptable and the actions depicted in the video do not represent the St. Mary school community in any way. Even though this event took place off school grounds, we take a situation like this extremely seriously. We are assisting police in its investigation and are investigating this matter thoroughly at the school level.
“Student safety is always our number one priority. Every student should feel safe and welcome at school.”
