Bullying Incident Leaves SJC Student Injured

A bullying incident at St. John’s College High School has left a student with a broken hip and requiring emergency surgery. Niall Alvarado brought up the issue on Facebook, saying that the victim is his brother Dominick Alvarado, an honour student at SJC. 

Niall said that Dominick’s life-altering injuries, emotional trauma, and financial toll on his family are the result of the serious effects of bullying. “The implications of such acts extend beyond immediate physical harm; they encompass emotional trauma, academic disruption, and financial strain on families,” he said. 

According to Niall, Dominick’s experience and need for emergency surgery and recovery have hindered his performance in school. He said, “In the case of Dominick, the administration’s failure to adequately respond not only failed him but also sent a chilling message to other students about the efficacy of reporting bullying incidents.”

“The Ministry of Education and the Board of Directors at St. John’s College High School must conduct a thorough investigation into the bullying incidents,” Niall said. He pointed out that the investigations should include policies and practices that relate to bullying in the school.
