However, that turned out to be false.

A student said they were locked in their classrooms due to a “massive fight” on school grounds.

Police were called to attend at 1.35pm.

The adults left the school grounds and students were allowed to leave their classrooms.

In August, police were called to the school to confiscate a toy gun from a student.

A teacher was charged with assaulting a student in September.
