A 19 year old student who has been charged with assault in relation to a bus attack in Flagstaff on Monday will appear in court later today.
Police are also trying to establish the alleged involvement of an ex-scholar in the incident where some items were thrown into a school bus at Flagstaff.
Spokesperson, Inspector Atunaisa Sokomuri has said that students should not be loitering around town and head straight home after school.
He confirmed that they are investigating the brawl at Service Street and Sukuna Park last Friday, the attack on the school bus at Flagstaff on Monday and an incident of an assault case on the Head Boy of one of the schools on Saturday night.
Police Commissioner, Brigadier General Ioane Naivalurua has issued a stern warning to students that anyone breaking the law will be taken to task.
He personally visited Marist Brothers High School and Suva Grammar School yesterday after the involvement of some students in the recent brawls.
Commissioner Naivalurua has called on the students to respect the law.
He has called for a resolution to be reached.
A curfew has been put in place from yesterday for the students of Marist Brothers High School.
This has been announced by Marist Principal John Atalifo following the recent incidents involving some students from the school.
Atalifo said all students should leave for their home at 3:10pm and no Marist student should be seen in uniform in the capital city after 4pm.
The Suva Grammar management has also instructed all students to follow the rules and to go home after school.
Counseling sessions have been conducted with the parents, students and teachers.
The Grammar students also had a school assembly and a gender assembly after which all Grammar students took a pledge on Monday that they will maintain law and order.
