James Cook High School principal Grant McMillan at the spot where a disabled student was injured when his wheelchair fell on top of him. He suffered numerous injuries including a broken jaw and was mentally traumatised by the accident, which happened at James Cook High School in Manurewa. A 19-year-old BLENNZ satellite student was seriously injured on his first day at James Cook High School in Manurewa, 14 October 2019. And the report did not recommend a ramp outside the door where the accident happened - despite it being an emergency exit for a satellite school classroom. As principal, he was "legally ... professionally and morally responsible" for the students and he was failing to keep special education students safe and respected, he wrote.
