Counselors were at the school all day talking to students who witnessed and were part of the tragic but freak accident on Wednesday which claimed the life of 17 year-old Patrison Isarac. Four other students who are currently attending the learning institution were also injured.
Principal of the St. Maarten Academy PSVE Solange Duncan said the school would resume its regular schedule and programming on Friday. Students would go back to doing their exams on Friday while the examinations that were cancelled on Thursday will now be held on Monday. Asked how the students are coping Duncan said the students are stronger than the adults and they are coping very well with the tragic situation.
On Wednesday Patrison Isarac lost his life when a pick up on which he was hitchhiking toppled on St. Peters main road. The youth died at the St. Maarten Medical Center the same day. Other students involved in the accident were treated and sent home.
