Brazen videos of Sunshine Coast school-aged children wearing their uniforms while savagely attacking each other and screaming abuse with swearing has gone viral on social media after being posted by the students.

The videos surfaced on an Instagram account earlier this week.

There were multiple videos showing young school-aged children, mostly girls, attacking each other.

Some were at school, some at bus stops, and at other public places.

In multiple videos the young pre-teen girls were seen attacking unprovoked.

Teachers and parents were also seen intervening to break up the savage fights.

A Queensland department of education spokesman said “continued media coverage and social media posts regarding these kinds of incidents only serves to glorify the negative behaviours displayed in the videos”.

“Protecting the safety and wellbeing of our children and young people is a shared community responsibility that takes collective effort, understanding and commitment,” he said.

“Every state school has a student code of conduct which makes explicit the standard of behaviour expected from students and the consequences if those expectations are not met.

He said the department also had a cybersafety team that assisted schools to respond to negative or harmful online behaviour.

“The team provides advice on reporting harmful content through social media platform tools, as well as working with stakeholders about the removal of inappropriate or extreme content,” the spokesman said.

He said schools needed the help of parents to monitor their children’s online behaviour.

“Students and families are encouraged to report incidents of inappropriate behaviour including online behaviour to their school or through the eSafety Commissioner’s website,” he said.

“It is important for families to work with schools to help adolescents safely engage with technology and navigate peer conflict.”

This comes off the back of multiple pages emerging on social media encouraging cyber-bullying and alleged school fights on the Sunshine Coast last year.

Instagram and TikTok were awash with accounts encouraging users to submit pictures of school-aged kids, asking for “flops”, in a fad showing a rise in online harassment.

In October 2024 more than 20 accounts were found to be posting Sunshine Coast school fight videos to Instagram.

In pages viewed by this publication, more than 20 accounts can be seen on a simple Instagram search under similar monikers.

Earlier last year, a Sunshine Coast father alleged his son was mercilessly attacked four times at Nambour State College, leading him to be homeschooled.

Analysis of hundreds of public secondary school suspension and exclusion data last year revealed some of South-East Queensland’s worst-behaved students, with one of the state’s top principals saying the youth crime crisis was spilling into the class rooms.

The latest Queensland Education data also showed exclusions across Queensland had reached a five-year high with experts saying schools had seen an “increase” in physical aggression.

This confronting footage is not a recent phenomenon, with an underground “fight club” culture infiltrating Queensland schools, including on the Sunshine Coast, in 2022.
