We had another successful evening at the Dolphin's Barn community garden.

While the family was subjected to a two week period of imtimidation by the School administration at the start of the year over uniform breaches, they wait to be informed of their childs fainting fit some five days after the event.

In Febuary this year, the child and the parents were informed that it would be unacceptable for the child to attend school wearing basic black shorts rather than the regular uniform royal blue. The child was threatened with disciplinary action for refusing to wear school supplied clothing and had been forced to sit out a lesson because of the uniform breach. ... read full story / add a comment
