- A five-year-old girl was allegedly stabbed in the head with a pencil in a horrifying classroom attack at a regional NSW primary school.
- Her furious mother claims she arrived at the school to find her daughter ‘covered in blood’ and that staff initially REFUSED to tell her what had happened.
- The young victim, who is undergoing an autism diagnosis, is now said to be deeply traumatised and ‘frightened to go to school’.
- The Catholic school is ‘managing’ the incident and has confirmed the alleged attacker is being ‘kept out’ of school pending a review.
A mother has been left shaken and furious after her five-year-old daughter was allegedly stabbed in the head with a pencil by another child in a shocking act of violence at a Catholic primary school in regional New South Wales.
The little girl was left ‘covered in blood’ and required urgent treatment from paramedics following the alleged classroom attack at St Philomena’s School in Moree on September 17.
In a stunning claim, the girl’s mother, Eliza, said that when she rushed to the school, staff refused to explain how her daughter had sustained the horrific injury. ‘Upon my arrival at the school… the staff at the school refused to tell me how she sustained her injury,’ the horrified mother said. ‘She did nothing to provoke this (alleged) attack on her.’
The young victim, who is currently undergoing an assessment for autism, has been left deeply traumatised by the ordeal and is now terrified of returning to the classroom.
‘She has worked so hard to be able to show up to school despite the extra struggles she faces daily and she is now frightened to go to school once the (other) child is allowed back,’ Eliza said.
‘My biggest fear is that she would become disengaged from school and have her education affected.’
Armidale Catholic Schools (ACS), which oversees the school, released a statement confirming it was ‘managing’ the incident and undertaking a review to determine the next steps.
ACS said the child who allegedly carried out the attack was being ‘kept out’ of the school until the ‘appropriate procedures’ had been completed. ‘The safety of our students, staff and the community continues to be our priority,’ the statement read.
