The Dominican Convent High School in Harare has expelled eight girls over drug abuse, a notice to parents has revealed.
In a letter by Head of Upper School Sister Kudzai Mutsure, the school said that eight had initially been put on ‘suspension pending investigations on an incident that took place at the 2023 U6 leadership camp which was held in Nyanga from the 12th to the 15th of January’.
“The disciplinary committee exercised all principles of procedural fairness and found the girls guilty of
violating the school drug policy,” wrote Sister Kudzai.
“My heart aches for these girls and their parents but my duty of care is to ensure that the school
environment is, as far as is practicable, safe and free from all risks. I have a responsibility to the
whole school community and possessing, using or supplying a restricted substance including vaping
is not acceptable,” she continued.
Drug abuse has been a major issue in Zimbabwe, but much of the conversation has been limited to low-income households being particularly affected.
