GEORGE NEWS - The disciplinary hearing of the 14-year-old Grade 8 learner of Parkdene Secondary School who allegedly punched his teacher, Heila Pangel, in the face on Monday 29 October, was held on Tuesday 6 November. WCED spokesperson Millicent Merton said the learner and his parents will be informed of the outcome of the hearing in due course.

The incident was preceded by a request from the teacher for the learner to remove his cap while in class.

Another learner who threw water at "Mr Wrestling", who was part of the anti-bullying campaign under the auspices of Sean and Chantel Norris's local South African Sports League, has been absent from school since Thursday 25 October. 

He returned to school on Tuesday 6 November and received a letter to appear before the school's governing body disciplinary committee.

A third incident, a fight between learners outside the school grounds which happened on Friday 26 October, was addressed internally after the parents of the learners were summoned to come to school.
