A student of Campion College in St. Andrew died on Tuesday afternoon during a freak accident on the compound of the institution.
It's understood that sometime after 3 p.m., the second form student was reportedly swinging on a goalpost when it fell on him.
He suffered severe injuries and was rushed to the University Hospital of the West Indies where he was pronounced dead.
Staff at Campion said the incident happened during rugby training.
Education Minister Fayval Williams has extended "heartfelt condolences" to the family of the student as well as the school community. She said a guidance and counselling team will be dispatched to the school on Wednesday.
This is not the first time a student has been killed by a fallen goalpost at school.
Three students died in separate, similar incidents in 2011.
In January that year, seven-year-old Nicholas Hamilton was killed by a goalpost at Coke View Primary School in Westmoreland.
Nine-year-old Jeremiah Yson was killed by a goalpost which fell on him at Saints Peter and Paul Prep School in St. Andrew in March.
In October of the same year, Javane Bailey, a grade one student, was killed when a goalpost fell on him at Chester Primary School in St. Ann.
