The Canberra mother of a Calwell High School student has disputed an government official’s claim that recent reports of student violence on campus were “rare,” saying her Year 8 child has endured multiple attacks and security lockdowns after students formed violent mobs during staff shortages.

This comes after the school was forced to ban two cohorts of Year 7 and 8 students after school inspectors found they were allegedly subjecting teachers and administration staff to abuse and sexualised violence and behaviour daily.
