Protest outside Western Cape Education Department
Updated | By Olivia Phalaetsile
"The learners are demanding a new high school in Philippi," spokesman Paddy Attwell said.
The school shares a site with Hinds Park Primary School at present.
"The department plans to build a new high school in the area, but does not currently have land for the school."
Western Cape police could not immediately confirm speculation on Twitter that either a smoke or stun grenade was used to disperse the protesting pupils.
