Speaker 1: Morning, Melbourne, Olivia Dean Man, I need right on seven thirty.
Speaker 1: This is number one hundred. You're on the air with
Speaker 1: Jason Lauren Clint here as well tell you what is
Speaker 1: a dat of three. There was a headline I heard
Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon on the news which definitely caught my attention
Speaker 1: and increased anxiety, and that is that a stabbing has
Speaker 1: gone down at a school in Melbourne.
Speaker 2: So this is between allegedly between a teacher and a principal.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, Keysborough's Secondary Colleges where it took place yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 3: But before you dive into it, Jay's just on that
Speaker 3: you send your kids to school, in your case, to
Speaker 3: things you think they should be safe.
Speaker 1: You know what, Clint, When I heard this story of
Speaker 1: this afternoon, AO freaked out and needed to know the
Speaker 1: school straight away. And secondly, I know this sounds bad,
Speaker 1: but I wasn't. Just in this current environment here in Victoria,
Speaker 1: I wasn't super surprised. It was just like, oh, another
Speaker 1: incident at a school. Okay, which one is it now?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: It sounds like the school handled it very well and
Speaker 2: very quickly.
Speaker 1: It all took place about three o'clock. I've got the
Speaker 1: message it went out to parents. This was late year
Speaker 1: staff and.
Speaker 3: Just before you do, Keyesborough's Secondary College is where it happened.
Speaker 3: And that school, we understand as you're about to read,
Speaker 3: responded very well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they sent a letter out saying, dear families of
Speaker 1: Keyesboro's Secondary College, we are writing to you regarding the
Speaker 1: distressing incident which resulted in our principal sustaining injuries at
Speaker 1: the campus today. He was assist by emergency services and
Speaker 1: taking a hospital. We've spoken to him. He's recovering well.
Speaker 1: No students were involved in the incident. The alleged perpetrator
Speaker 1: is with the police and will not be back on
Speaker 1: the school grounds in any way. For more and the latest,
Speaker 1: let's go to Christina Hearn from Channel nin's Today show.
Speaker 1: Hey Christine, good morning, Good morning guys, which we're chatting
Speaker 1: under better circumstances, but another incident in another Melbourne school.
Speaker 1: What can you tell us the latest this morning?
Speaker 4: Yes, so I can tell you that principle, which is
Speaker 4: Aaron Sikes, he's recovering in hospital. He's got non life
Speaker 4: threatening injuries. Now the other teacher, who is the alleged attacker,
Speaker 4: he was also taken to hospital with non life threatening
Speaker 4: injuries under police guard and I understand he has been
Speaker 4: released from hospital this morning, but no charges have been
Speaker 4: laid at this stage. Spoken to Victorian police, they say
Speaker 4: the investigation is ongoing, so that's not to say that
Speaker 4: charges might not be laid in the future.
Speaker 2: So Christine, do we know what actually happened?
Speaker 4: I understand that there has been some altercation between the
Speaker 4: principal and the teacher in and around the science block
Speaker 4: and as a result of that, the principal has been
Speaker 4: stabbed allegedly by the teacher.
Speaker 3: Is Chris good Morning, an alleged motive here, not.
Speaker 4: That we can say at this stage. All I can
Speaker 4: say is there has been some altercation, okay.
Speaker 3: And the response from the school we heard Jayce read
Speaker 3: that memo kids did how are the kids in this
Speaker 3: moment where they were taking shelter or do they see
Speaker 3: anything with schools in lockdown?
Speaker 4: Right? Well, that's right. So the students, some students said
Speaker 4: they actually had to hide under their desks for twenty minutes.
Speaker 4: You can imagine how scared they would have been while
Speaker 4: the school was placed into lockdown. That would have been
Speaker 4: the longest twenty minutes. And then that they do as
Speaker 4: you would know, Jose have procedures for schools in lockdown.
Speaker 4: Unfortunately it actually happens with increasing regularity and they're only
Speaker 4: allowed to go when the police came to the school
Speaker 4: and then they could go home.
Speaker 2: So Christine, I've heard this story, but do we know
Speaker 2: was it a knife that was used? I mean, I
Speaker 2: think people in Melbourne at the moment hear about a
Speaker 2: stabbing and straightaway think the worst. But do we know
Speaker 2: if it was a knife.
Speaker 4: Police aren't saying at this stage whether it was a knife,
Speaker 4: whether it could have been another weapon. So we're going
Speaker 4: to have to wait. We're going to have to wait
Speaker 4: till their investigation is complete.
Speaker 1: Right if it is a knife, it's timely because was
Speaker 1: it yesterday the amsdy on carrying knives was lifted Insidia?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. I think it was either yesterday or
Speaker 4: the day before. And also it was last week that
Speaker 4: there was another stabbing at a school in Berwick where
Speaker 4: a young kid was stabbed. So you know, this is
Speaker 4: something that obviously is concerning Victorians at the moment, the
Speaker 4: amounts of knife crime. And I've spoken to police here
Speaker 4: quite a bit in the morning with my job, and
Speaker 4: they say they're attending stabbing daily. So it's a big
Speaker 4: problem in Melbourne at the moment. But now that it's
Speaker 4: infiltrating the schools, I mean that's you know, even more
Speaker 4: concerning for parents.
Speaker 3: Hey, her, is it business as usual for the school
Speaker 3: this morning? As usual as it can be?
Speaker 4: It is, Clint. I've got a text message from one
Speaker 4: of the acting principles and she said last night just
Speaker 4: reaffirming that the school is reopening as normal this morning.
Speaker 4: I believe that is around eight twenty this morning.
Speaker 1: Which I think, you know what, for the kids is
Speaker 1: probably a good thing normality. Otherwise they're going to be
Speaker 1: sitting at home just asking questions and you know.
Speaker 2: Well, I thought very much with that school community, there
Speaker 2: will be a lot of people who are really rattled
Speaker 2: by this.
Speaker 1: Kristin Haran from Channel nine to Today Show, joining us
Speaker 1: on the Hey, thanks, Chris, are you missing You're missing
Speaker 1: Clint there at all?
Speaker 3: Or yes?
Speaker 4: Oh yes, dreadfully we all are force.

Speaker 4: It's all yours, Lauren.
Speaker 3: Lauren wake up feeling good.
