Statement by Mullumbimby High School P and C Association

Mark Collinson: President.

Mullumbimby High School P and C extends its condolences to the family and friends of Jai Morcom, who passed away over the weekend.

The incident is a great tragedy, and the P & C will endeavour to support the family and the broader community in whatever way we can.

On behalf of the P & C I would like to extend my condolences to Jai's family. The incident has touched the entire community.

The P & C also gives full support to the Principal of Mullumbimby High School, its leadership team, and the rest of the staff.

As President, I am confident in the way student welfare and discipline is managed at MHS.

As a parent, I would like to state, that media reports of of a culture of violence and bullying are not reflective of the actual school culture at Mullumbimby High School.

Friday’s incident is very rare, and is certainly not typical of the school culture.

We are all shocked, and extremely saddened by the events of Friday 28^th August. It is important that we stick together as a broader community and support our school and its leadership as well as its staff and students.
