ST ANDREW, Jamaica – The Principal of Mona High School has strongly condemned the actions of students who rushed onto the grounds of Jamaica College during their Manning Cup celebration on Monday morning, asserting that they will be punished.
Following the school’s first-ever title win over Hydel at the National Stadium last Friday, Mona conducted a police-led motorcade that passed through sections of the Kingston 6 area.
However, in a video circulating on social media, students were seen running toward JC’s gate, blowing vuvuzelas, making “gun” sounds, and shouting offensive slurs toward the school’s security guard.

Keven Jones, Mona’s principal, speaking to Observer Online, said, “I saw the video, and on the surface of it, we might be able to identify a few of the students that ran through the JC gate and onto the JC premises.”
He added: “That’s very unfortunate; we condemn that sort of behaviour. It doesn’t reflect the kind of school we are. We stand for discipline, pride, good manners, and social skills. So that’s very bad and unfortunate, and I promise we will find those students and apply the necessary sanctions.”
Earlier in the morning, the school held a celebratory devotion involving the title-winning team, the coaching staff, including head coach Craig Butler, and the Minister of Education and Youth, Fayval Williams.
