Crime Stoppers Barbados will be going into Grantley Adams Memorial Secondary School in an attempt to help students there manage their anger.
This has been revealed by programme director Sherie Holder-Olutayo, who said the organisation had reached out to the administration of the Blackman’s, St Joseph school in the wake of last Tuesday’s incident which saw three 15-year-old boys being stabbed and a girl being struck with a rock after an incident on the compound.
The school was not one of those in which Crime Stoppers had its Sandy Lane Charitable Trust-sponsored Cool Yuh Head programme, Holder-Olutayo admitted.
“We are now targeting Grantley Adams,” she told the DAILY NATION. “Our administrative assistant has already put out calls to them in light of what has happened. So we will be looking to get them on board.” (HLE)
