Sharon Primary closes early after teacher’s sudden death

Students and teachers at the Sharon Primary School were faced with tragedy this morning – the sudden death of a member of the teaching fraternity, according to the Ministry of Education.

Neither the identity of the staff member nor the circumstances of their death were provided.

The ministry said it dispatched counsellors to assist grieving students, teachers and staff and later closed the school for the remainder of the day, allowing parents and guardians to collect their children.

“We extend deepest sympathies to the family and friends of our late colleague as we continue to provide the necessary support for the students, staff and parents of the Sharon Primary School,” the ministry said.
