In the video, circulating social media and obtained by the Bundaberg NewsMail, the victim appears to be a teenage girl aged about 15/16.

A spokesman for Queensland’s Department of Education said on Tuesday the school was taking action in the wake of the video.
“Like all Queensland state schools, Bundaberg State High School is committed to providing a safe, respectful and disciplined learning environment,” he said.
“The school is aware of a fight video circulating online involving students from the school.”
“The school is working to support the student involved and is applying consequences for the other student in line with the school’s Student Code of Conduct and to those students involved in filming the incident.
“No further details can be provided due to student privacy issues.”
