Emergency Services called to Bundaberg North State High School during riot

As disturbing footage of a mass bashing unfolding at a Queensland high school continues to shock parents, the state’s education department has issued its standard response. VIDEO, DETAILS.

Queensland’s education department insists it remains committed to a “safe, disciplined” environment at a school at the centre of an “eshay” warning and brutal brawl video.

It comes after chaotic footage of a lunchtime brawl, which sent Bundaberg North State High School into lockdown, emerged this week.

Video of the latest in a series of disciplinary incidents to rock the school shows teens throwing punches and piling on top of one another amid screams for them to stop and a teacher repeatedly blowing her whistle.

It’s understood two students began fighting but this quickly escalated with multiple groups fighting around the playground.

The fight follows recent revelations staff at the same school were also asked to call police if they saw a group of “eshay” students on the grounds. It is not yet known if the group which sparked the warning was involved in Tuesday’s fight.

A concerned parent described the chaotic scenes as a “riot”.

Police and paramedics had been called to the school on Tuesday afternoon but few details were available at the time.

A concerned parent has since contacted the NewsMail, alleging parents were not notified during or immediately following the incident which they described as a “riot”.

In a letter, believed to have been sent to parent’s overnight, the school’s principal, Robyn Kent, said the school enacted a “precautionary lockdown” in response to a “student behaviour incident” and emergency services were called.

A letter sent to parents by the school’s principal, Robyn Kent, said the school enacted a “precautionary lockdown” in response to a “student behaviour incident” and emergency services were called.

The letter did not provide any specific details about the incident, citing “student privacy reasons”, and said the aftermath would be managed by the school in line with its Student Code of Conduct.

In it, parents are asked to speak with their children about the potential “ramifications” of engaging in commentary “within the community or on social media that might be interpreted as speculation or rumour”.

Earlier this week, a BNSHS staff member told the Courier Mail a “group of eshays” were causing significant problems at the school, with staff sometimes hiding from the problem students.

When contacted by the NewsMail a school spokesman referred all inquiries to the Queensland Department of Education.

A department spokesman said: “like all Queensland state schools, Bundaberg North State High School is committed to providing a safe, respectful and disciplined learning environment”.

“The department can confirm the Queensland Ambulance Service and Queensland Police Service attended the school (on Tuesday) in response to a student behaviour incident,” the statement read

“No weapons were involved in the incident.

A lunchtime riot at Bundaberg North State High School caused the school to go into lockdown and emergency services were called, in the latest of a series of disciplinary incidents to rock the school.

“The school enacted a precautionary lockdown for the safety of staff and students.

“The school will apply appropriate consequences to students involved in line with the school’s Student Code of Conduct.

“Support is available at the school for any students and staff who may require it.”

A Queensland Ambulance Services spokeswoman confirmed two ambulances were dispatched to the school at 1.34pm on Tuesday, and no patients were transported.

A Queensland Police Service spokesman said a call was logged with police, and they were in the process of providing more details.
