The girl’s suspension follows that of 12 pupils at the same school last week.
The group, comprising white pupils, allegedly belonged to a WhatsApp group in which they shared messages containing racial connotations, micro-aggressions and complaints about their black peers.
Allegations are that the principal, Phillipa Erasmus, was made aware of the messages last year but never acted on them.
She has been suspended too.
Other teachers from the school are under investigation.
