Crisland School says it has suspended a 10-year-old female pupil for taking part in a truth-or-dare game in Dubai.

The school announced the girl’s suspension in a letter to her parent, describing her conduct as “improper behaviour”

Students from the elite high school had gone to Dubai in March to participate in the World School Games between March 10-13, 2022.

The school’s exceptional outing drew public commendation and praise after it won about 34 medals.

In the April 14, 2022, letter to the girl’s parent, seen by Peoples Gazette, authorities at Chrisland School in Victoria Island Garden City told her parents that she was the ringleader of the truth-or-dare game.

“In line with our core values centred on discipline, Chrisland Schools have zero tolerance for any improper behaviour and misconduct,” the school said in a letter signed by its principal Georgia Azike.

The school, however, didn’t divulge the pupil’s name.

The school disclosed that other schoolmates who took part in the game had been suspended, adding that the girl and her parents did not cooperate during its investigation.

“Consequently, [name redacted) is hereby placed on indefinite suspension until you as the parents ensure that she is punished, adequately counselled and rehabilitated,” the school said.

The Gazette said it laid hands on the letter hours after the issue came to public knowledge on social media. Friends of the father said a pregnancy test had been conducted and the school initially hushed up the case.
