According to court papers, on October 5 last year, the students ganged up and destroyed water equipment.
On the second count, on October 10, the accused were dismissed for study leave, but refused to vacate the school premises. They then allegedly ganged up and destroy a precast wall using stones.
The total value of the damaged property in the two incidents was pegged at $344.
