Concerned for their children's safety, parents of students at Holy Faith Convent in Couva are calling for a consistent police presence during school dismissal. However, community police in the district say a lack of manpower is their biggest challenge.

The concern follows an incident where a 15-year-old form-four student of the school was attacked just outside the school's compound on June 10.

Newsday spoke to Assistant Commissioner of Police (CoP) Wayne Mystar on June 11 who said no arrests had been made, but the police were working to find those responsible.
