He will be tried under the provisions of the Youth Justice Act.
Immediately after the incident, principal Nicole Sherlock said the school ‘immediately contacted emergency services who arrived swiftly.’
‘I want to reassure you that we treat the safety and welfare of your children, our students, and our staff as our highest priority,’ she said in a letter to parents.
‘I am in close contact with the relevant authorities and families of the affected students.’
