A sense of sanity returned to Marina International High School on Wednesday after almost a week of disquiet over an incident involving the school’s principal and a student.

Marina International High School last week made headlines following the expulsion of a 13-year-old student.

The student was purged after school authorities found him wanting of driving a car to school.

The family of the student took the matter to court and an injunction was handed for the student to be allowed back in the distinguished private school until the matter was resolved.

The principal failed to comply with the injunction leading to court law enforcement officers storming Marina and bringing him in to court where he was charged with contempt.

The embattled principal on Wednesday told The Fatu Network the court has granted him bail on conditions which include allowing the student back in school.

“It is a standing court order and we’ll respect the order because it is also a condition of my bail. So, if I refuse I’m sure I will be put in jail,” William Arthur said.

Arthur also said the school is back in full operation.

“The students are back in school, those who are writing exams are writing their exams. There’s a 100 percent sanity and calm in school,” he said.
