He said "We have been discussing that the cause of the burning down could be a negotiation with a local student organisation as they did not like the correctional measure we had taken against some students. They wanted the punishment quashed,". The Principal said one of the reprimanded students took to social media to allegedly post abusive content about the school and the class teacher.
