Melkbos Prvt School Victimisation

We have had numerous incidents with Melkbosstrand Private School. Unfortunately, my children are Afrikaans speaking and Private Afrikaans Schools are a rarity so we have to keep them in this school for now. I will however protect them at all cost. I have bought the domain www.melbosstrandprivateschool.co.za and will publish all the events ranging from assault to what I believe to be blatant victimization.

In the latest event I believe my son was blatantly victimized and not given the recognition deserved for a second and third place at the schools swimming gala event. Instead of correcting what I thought was a mistake, the school or individual's within the school, falsified results for a under 12 event my son did not take part in and then tried to convince me that he did not even participate in the backstroke event. I called a meeting with the CEO Mr Dreyer and the Headmaster Mr van Wyk. During this meeting Mr van Wyk produced event times indicating that my son was 5th and tried to convince me that this fact. Unfortunately for the school, I was present at the event and I am an EYE WITNESS to the results, I also have two videos to prove that my son was third in the freestyle and second in the backstroke. The videos are not great because became a little overexcited when my son was doing so well. However in the freestyle video my son can be seen at the pool wall with the two lanes next to him empty. By default, in a race with 5 contestants, he must be 3rd. In the backstroke, I can be clearly heard on video audio congratulating my son on his second position. This proves verbal confirmation of a visual observation.

Instead of accepting the situation and correcting the results, the school chose to ignore that fact that I was an eye witness and basically called me a ****. This in my opinion proves a total disregard for the well being of the children in their care. My son was heartbroken when he did not receive the accolades he deserved but this fact was totally overshadowed by schools desire to cover up the events. I can conclude that this was an act of deliberate victimization by the school or persons within the school. The school sells themselves as Christian based organisation but when this is allowed to happen I have to question the truth in this.
