A teen girl who allegedly set her classmate on fire is set to make a plea at Saskatoon Provincial Court next month.

On Sept. 5, a 15-year-old girl was doused in a flammable substance and lit on fire at Evan Hardy Collegiate.

A 14-year-old girl has been charged with attempted murder, arson and aggravated assault.

She’s also been charged with unlawfully causing bodily harm, related to a teacher who was injured while attempting to put out the flames.

The girl, whose name cannot be published under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, is scheduled to make a plea on Feb. 13 — about five months since the incident occurred.

Crown Prosecutor Ainsley Furlonger said she wants to see “things progress.”

“I did inquire with the case manager’s office, just to get a sense of time to trial,” Furlonger told the court.
