Sixteen students from a Perth high school have been suspended after a wild brawl broke out on school grounds on Monday.
Images of the melee at Churchlands Senior High School have circulated widely on YouTube.
The vision shows the school-ground chaos as several fights break out between students as hundreds more look on. At least two versions of the fight are circulating on YouTube, taken from different angles.
It is understood one student suffered a broken nose.
Police are not investigating.
Churchlands principal Neil Hunt said the fight had followed an incident that occurred over the weekend.
“We take such matters very seriously,” he said.
The students were suspended for between two and 10 days, depending on their level of involvement and past history.
The school had not referred the incident to police.
A source within the school said it was unusual for so many students to be involved in a fight at one time. “It makes you wonder if there a bit of pre-planning involved,” the source said.
Details of the fight emerged today on 6PR, with people who said they were students at the school saying that it related to ill-feeling from Year 11 students preventing Year 10 students from entering a party last Friday night.
