A John Paul College pupil is being disciplined after taking a knife to school and pulling it out in front of a group of peers.
Principal Patrick Walsh confirmed an intermediate pupil had taken a knife to school on Tuesday.
"[The pupil] had a knife at school which was presented to a group of other students with the intention of frightening them," Walsh said.
"There was no physical threat or harm caused to any students although it was a very upsetting experience."
Walsh said the pupil had been "detained" and the knife had been recovered.
