When Northern District police arrived at the scene, they identified the suspect involved in the incident, a 15-year-old boy.

He was reported for assault and may be summoned to attend court at a later date.

Golden Grove High School principal Peter Kuss said three students were involved in the incident on Monday “with a drink being tipped over a student and another student’s hair pulled and their head hitting the ground”.

“Staff immediately provided first aid, contacted SA Ambulance Service and the families of those involved,” Mr Kuss said.

“As a result of the incident, disciplinary consequences will be applied.

“Violence is absolutely unacceptable and the school takes the safety of its students very seriously. Wellbeing support has been offered to the student.”

SA Police were advised of the incident by a parent of a student involved.

The school, as per its policy, intended to notify police until the parent did so, an Education Department spokeswoman said.
