Hair loss is one of the most prevalent side effects for both men and women after a cancer diagnosis. Chemotherapy is a type of treatment that focuses on cancer cells that are quickly growing.

According to healthline, Chemotherapy can result in hair loss all over the body, not just on the scalp.

We have followed up on reports making the rounds on certain developments bordering on the morals and ethics of some of the students under our care, who represented the school at the World School games, Dubai between 8 and 14 of March 2022. While we understand the emotions this has generated, we assure the public that our first approach as an institution was to assume parental roles by offering support to those involved and ensuring that nothing affected their senses of esteem. However, after a comprehensive evaluation of the situation, we cannot help but express how scandalised and distressed we feel as mothers, fathers and instructors with a relationship that holds a direct bearing on the development of those involved.
