Click to view full size

Four students of Northeastern College have publicly apologised for fighting on the very first day of the new academic year last week.

But despite the apology, the boys have been placed on extended suspension following the fight outside the school compound in Sangre Grande.

The students were initially suspended for seven days and instructed to attend the Sangre Grande Suspension Centre, where they would take part in a youth development programme focused on restorative practices, rehabilitation and conflict resolution.
