SJC’s Terse Statement on Bullying Incident 

St. John’s College in Belize City late yesterday evening issued a terse statement in response to bullying at the school.

Over the weekend, we reported on the case of St. John’s College High School Dominick Alvarado. He now has a broken hip and requires emergency surgery. According to Dominick’s family, he was bullied and is now suffering physically and emotionally.

Dominick’s injuries and trauma have disrupted his academic performance. The family also criticised the school’s administration for failing to respond adequately. The incident happened months ago. It was only after the family brought the issue to light on social media that the school responded.

In a 3-sentence statement, St. John’s College acknowledged the Facebook post, is in contact with his family, and wished him a speedy recovery.

“St. John’s College is aware of the post made on Facebook concerning Dominick Alvarado. We are in communication with Dominick’s parent, and this situation is being addressed. We wish Dominick Alvarado a speedy recovery, and his Wildcat family awaits his return.”
