The principal at Father Mercredi is clarifying what happened on Wednesday.
Natasha MacArthur-Poole says staff did their jobs properly.
“It happened off school grounds, after school, and as soon as we saw students making their way to an area, we knew something was up,” she said. “So it was broken up really quickly – but it was just, it was a fight.”
She says the 16 year old who was charged is not a Father Merc student, though the victim was.
She also says there weren’t 50-60 students watching as police reported, but there were actually fewer than 10.
