Eastern Zone Rugby Schools principals have agreed to initiate traditional protocols between the two schools before Friday, following a Facebook video showing students stoned a bus carrying Lelean Memorial School students after a Fiji Secondary School rugby competition.
The principals reaffirmed the need for strengthening supervision, fair play, and child safety.
They met with Education Minister Aseri Radrodo and Fiji Secondary Schools Rugby Union senior executives, who emphasized the Union’s role in prioritizing children’s safety during school events.
FSSRU assured the Minister of Education that mitigating steps would be taken to ensure incident-free games and supervisor visibility and informed schools about expected behaviors.
The Union also promised greater visibility to MOE District and Divisional Officers at all game venues.
FSSRU will meet with the games committee to address the issues and ensure the smooth running of the remaining games of the Deans Competition.
