Lenana School has temporarily released all students following unrest and disturbances that occurred during night preps, prompting the institution's management to suspend learning and send learners home.

In a notice to parents and guardians, the school's Board of Management and administration said the decision was aimed at restoring normalcy and allowing for a comprehensive assessment of the situation.

"Following the restlessness and disturbance experienced during preps in the school last night, the Board of Management and the school administration have resolved to temporarily release all students to allow for restoration of normalcy and a comprehensive assessment of the situation," the notice stated.

Parents and guardians were instructed to pick up their sons from the school beginning 8:00 am.

The school directed that all students must leave the institution in the company of a parent, guardian or an authorised representative.

"You are therefore requested to pick your son from the school at 8:00 a.m. today. Kindly ensure that all students leave the school compound accompanied by a parent, guardian, or an authorised representative," the administration said.

The school did not provide further details on the nature of the disturbances but indicated that an assessment of the situation would be conducted before normal operations resume.

School management said parents would be informed of the reporting date and any other arrangements once the assessment is completed.

"Further communication regarding the reporting date and subsequent arrangements will be provided in due course," the notice said.

The administration apologised for the inconvenience caused and thanked parents for their cooperation and support.

"We regret the inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding, cooperation, and continued support during this period," the school said.
