Queen’s School Student in St Andrew Gets Ongoing Support After Reported Bus Assault

A Queen’s School student in St. Andrew is now receiving support after she was allegedly attacked by a male bus conductor last month.

Images and video clips linked to the incident have been spreading across social media platforms.

The Queen’s School Alumnae has denounced the reported assault and is appealing to members of the public to stop sharing the footage in order to protect the girl.

In its statement, the alumnae said it is seriously concerned by a circulating video that appears to show a young woman in Queen’s School uniform being struck multiple times by an adult male who seems to be dressed as a bus conductor on what appears to be a public passenger bus.

The group said it rejects violence against children in Jamaica in all forms, and stressed that no student should face physical violence, threats, or abuse while commuting to or from school.

According to the alumnae, the safety and wellbeing of Queen’s students remain a top priority.

It also praised the principal and school leadership for what it described as a quick, compassionate and firm response in assisting the student.

The alumnae added that those actions are in keeping with the school’s long-standing duty to protect every Queen’s student and place her welfare first.

It said it remains in communication with the school administration and will help to ensure the student continues to get the support she needs.

The matter, it noted, has already been reported to the relevant authorities for a full investigation and any action required under Jamaican law.

The alumnae also urged people not to repost the video, citing the student’s privacy and emotional wellbeing.

It said it stands with students, parents and the wider school community, and remains committed to pushing for safer transport conditions for all children and for stronger protections against harm.
