The school administration, Parents, Teachers Association (PTA) representatives and area education officials held an hour-long crisis meeting.
On her part, the school Principal Rose Oteko indicated: "It is true that there was a sexual harassment case by a male teacher at the school.
"On Monday, our quality assurance officers started the investigations and I cannot pre-empt the progress of investigations," she concluded.
The principal further indicated that there were other underlying issues that might have provoked the students to walk out of the school.
