The high school student who got in hot water for posting controversial photos of her on her Facebook page has found relief from a Cebu City court, which cleared the way for her to attend her graduation rites Friday.
The Cebu court issued a temporary restraining order against St. Theresa's College's imposition of sanctions that would have barred the girl from attending her special day, radio dzBB's Cebu affiliate reported.
The identity of the student was withheld as she is a minor.
Earlier, the school barred the girl from attending her graduation ceremony supposedly due to her Facebook photos showing her in a bikini and holding a lighted cigarette, which supposedly violated the school's teachings.
With the TRO, Judge Wilfredo Navarro ordered officials of St. Theresa's College to treat the girl "with kindness and civility befitting true graduates."
The dzBB report quoted the school's lawyer as saying the officials will follow the court order, and made sure that there will be no harassment of the girl on Friday.
The case stemmed from the lawsuit filed by the student's mother against the school for allegedly barring her daughter from attending the graduation rites. — KBK, GMA News
