00:00 Classes had been underway for just over an hour when students started to hear something had gone wrong.
00:07 Boys in my class were like talking about it and at first I thought it wasn't real because the school had like evacuated us.
00:14 Police swarmed the campus.
00:16 When the bell went we went to go see where it was and there was cops everywhere and then there were cops over here that we saw
00:21 and then we kind of realised oh this is happening, this is real.
00:26 Police say a 16 year old boy was allegedly attacked with an edged weapon in one of the main teaching blocks.
00:32 A 15 year old girl was also hurt and both are in a stable condition with non-life threatening injuries.
00:38 The boy's family issued a statement saying nobody expects to go to school and then something like this happens.
00:44 They thanked the first responders and school staff who worked quickly and diligently to help their boy.
00:50 Parents had first heard something had happened through social media chat groups.
00:54 We're all worried and I've just said I'm heading down there now to see what's going on.
00:59 The school wasn't placed into lockdown but students were clearly shaken by what happened.
01:04 School's meant to be a safe place for us where we should learn and grow as people.
01:10 School's should be somewhere that's safe and there for our children to learn.
01:14 This must have been a very distressing incident for the students but also the teachers who had to respond.
01:19 I just want to acknowledge all their roles and our thoughts go out to everyone.
01:24 Police stressed it was a contained incident and there was no threat to the wider community.
