The grade 6 pupil has been identified as 12-year-old Jada Nelson.

School Principal Colin Cameron told IRIE FM News that Jada collapsed right after the morning devotion.

He noted that representatives from the Education Ministry are to meet with Jada’s family today.

In the meantime, the Education Ministry said grief counselling will continue to be offered to staff and students of the school, today.
