School found negligent after Bredasdorp pupil loses an eye Share THE negligent conduct of Bredasdorp Primary School employees led to a Grade 1 pupil losing his eye after being punched by a “troubled” pupil while playing tag rugby. This is according to a scathing Western Cape High Court judgement on the bullying of a 7-year-old during a tag rugby game just before school classes started. The judge recently found the Western Cape Education Department to be vicariously liable for the child’s damages and ordered it to pay costs. The school failed to take reasonable steps to prevent the incident from happening despite knowing the perpetrator showed troublesome behavioural patterns, serious enough to deem him a “high level risk to other pupils”.
