TWO students from Buin Secondary School in South Bougainville suffered minor injuries after they clashed with a rival group on Sunday.The two
groups of students hailed from Konou and Makis constituencies. Buin police station commander Snr Sgt Joe Popui told The National by phone that the fight broke out between the two groups when a Makis student stole a plate belonging to a Konou student during breakfast on Sunday. He said the Makis students chased the Konou students out of the school. “Police are yet to decide whether arrests will be made on the students involved,” he said. Buin Secondary School principal Tony Malamo confirmed that a fight broke out after breakfast on Sunday morning over the stolen plate. But he said it had been resolved. A reconciliation was conducted yesterday between the two groups which led to apologies and the shaking of hands and they paid K50 to each other as compensation. “Classes are not suspended and only the concerned students are being taken out of their classes for mediation,” Malamo said. The reconciliation took place yesterday at the Buin Secondary School grounds in the presence of Malamo, school board members, teachers, Popui, parents and paramount chief Jacob Toke.
