The battle began when five teenagers confronted a student at Tarneit Senior College in the west of the city around 3:50pm Tuesday, Victoria police say.
“A group of students were involved in an altercation in the school foyer at the end of the school day, while a separate, unrelated incident occurred while some students were traveling home,” he said.
“We are cooperating with the police who are investigating both cases and are therefore unable to provide further details.
“I want to reassure you that the use of violence in our school community is completely unacceptable and inconsistent with our school’s values.”
