Students and staff at C.W. Jefferys Collegiate will mark the one year anniversary of the killing of Jordan Manners on Friday. It was on May 23, 2007, that the 15-year-old was shot and killed in a hallway inside the school. 2 teens who were both 17 were charged in the killing. When the young boy died it shocked the city, people wondered about the safety of the schools in toronto.
Many students at the school say that the school has changed dramatically, kids feel alot safer and the environment has in general become alot better. Students say that the new principle and vice principle have made a different, other say the new security cameras have helped because students dont want to do anything bad cause it will be caught on video. Techers feel that there is more control in the school, kids are starting to care a little more when it comes to there school. Also the school atmosphere has changed, there are now leadership programs being made, and then school has made several new changes such as, new computers, new fitness centre, hall monitors and child and youth workers.
This is a wonderful article. It is very sad, that the young man died, but at the same time it made people change. This is a sad story on how the student died because of violence in schools. The school brought in a new principle and installed security camera's. This is key. Schools need to learn from this school, violence in schools in increasing and more and more deaths are happening. I feel that what this school did was a good idea. If this school believes that there new method in the school is working, than hopefully other schools in the Toronto area start to do the same.
