Role change at Alexandra

ALEXANDRA SCHOOL principal Jeff Broomes traded his pen for a shovel yesterday, as part of a role reversal involving student leaders and the ancillary staff.
Broomes joined students to clean up the school’s surroundings, but still wearing a tie in the intense heat of the day, his was not an easy job.
The exercise was part of the school’s Founders’ Day week of celebrations.
Here, Broomes (third from left), shovelling garbage into a waste bin pushed by Student Council president Antone Johnson (left).
