Misleading and deeply disturbing is how the governing body of Trinity College, Moka describes the photograph with the narrative being widely circulated showing a group of boys standing outside the church.
It explains contrary to some reports, all graduands and parents were accommodated at the service.
The students who failed to comply with the school uniform policy, hairstyle or otherwise, regardless of ethnicity, were seated in the side chapel, within the body of the church and received their certificates, at the event, after the vote of thanks.
The College said after months of regular email notices and reminders in assemblies about the various aspects of the uniform policy, and in the weekly notices of the 11th, 18th and 25th of June, all parents and students were advised students attending the service were expected to be in full and proper dress uniform as outlined in the student handbook (pages 10 and 14).
Further, on the 13th and 22nd June at the service briefing and rehearsal, students were reminded that, should they breach the Dress Code regulation, they would not be allowed to process with their peers.
The College says it stand willing to continue discussions with all stakeholders with a view to ventilating the issues and arriving at a solution ahead of the new academic year, which is consonant with good order and changing norms.
