The school said- it was not

students were being held at
their former schools, whether
some had decided 'to change
their course plans, or whether
some still were vacationing in
other parts of the country, or
had remained at summer jabs.
The 1,239 students already at

an accommodation problem and
some had to be placed in make-

two former cloakrooms and the
