Principal punched in face during wild brawl at Upper Coomera State College
TENSIONS have exploded at Upper Coomera State College with up to a dozen students involved in a violent brawl in the primary school carpark.
Parents dropping their children at school were caught in the melee and a mother and two children cowered in their car as the brawling teenagers surrounded their vehicle.
Teachers and parents tried to break up the fight, only to be punched and pushed to the ground. Even the school principal was punched in the face.
Cars were damaged and police were called to bring the situation under control.
Students said there had been tension between New Zealand and Australian students for months.
Education Queensland has labelled the brawl "an absolute disgrace" and said the behaviour would not be tolerated, with action to be taken against students involved.
Education Queensland is investigating reports that students from Helensvale High School, several kilometres away, were involved.
South east Queensland regional director Glen Hoppner said strong action would be taken against all students involved.
"Absolutely disgraceful behaviour by a couple of students from (Upper Coomera) and some outsiders," he told reporters on Tuesday.
"The melee broke out in the car park and from there three teachers went out to try to separate those students and a couple of the teachers got caught up in that."
He denied reports that racial tensions between New Zealand and Australian students were behind the brawl.
