A 48-year-old woman is due in Invercargill District Court on
Friday to face an assault charge after she was allegedly
involved in a confrontation at a rural school yesterday.
Police said they were called to Central Southland Rural
Primary School in Drummond, about 50km from Invercargill, at
8.50am as principal Christine Munro was confronted by the
woman.
Both police and school staff were reluctant to say what led
to the arrest.
"As a principal things crop up every day that you have to
deal with and some are harder to deal with than others," Mrs
Munro told the Southland Times.
The arrested woman told the newspaper she planned to defend
the charge, saying she had gone to the school to speak with
Mrs Munro about a bullying letter, which she said was slipped
into her 10-year-old daughter's desk last week.
She had pulled her daughter from the school after the
incident, she said.
