Two stu­dents from the St Charles High School in Tu­na­puna have been giv­en the all-clear to re­turn to school next Mon­day af­ter re­port­ed­ly be­ing sent home for their braid­ed hair­styles.

The girls’ moth­ers vis­it­ed Guardian Me­dia on Tues­day and claimed their chil­dren were vic­timised, hav­ing been em­bar­rassed in front of class­mates.

How­ev­er, when con­tact­ed yes­ter­day, the moth­er Heather A-Dann said her daugh­ter and the oth­er child have since been giv­en the green light to re­sume their ed­u­ca­tion.

She ex­plained that there was an in­ter­ven­tion made by the Dis­trict Su­per­vi­sor of the Min­istry of Ed­u­ca­tion and a meet­ing was held with all in­volved par­ties.

A-Dann said they came “to some kind of agree­ment.”

A-Dann said the mat­ter will stay with the MoE and there will be more de­lib­er­a­tion and she is hop­ing for a more per­ma­nent con­ces­sion from the school.

The new hair code im­ple­ment­ed by the MoE stat­ed that locs, twists, plaits, afros and corn­rows, shall be al­lowed for all stu­dents in com­pli­ance with in­di­vid­ual School Hair Rules.
