Police will provide security escorts for teachers in Aurukun, Queensland, after a school principal was carjacked and threatened with weapons for the second time in two weeks.
Teachers were evacuated from the troubled Cape York community a fortnight ago, after principal Scott Fatnowna was carjacked by armed teenagers.
Fatnowna was again carjacked by band of armed teens on Saturday but the Queensland Teachers Union says he and other teachers have opted to stay this time, under a new regime that will see police and private security guards escort them when necessary.
Police say Fatnowna's government car was stolen and taken on a joyride before it was bogged outside the Cape York town on Saturday night. Three teens have since been charged.
After the principal was carjacked by a group of teens armed with an axe this month 25 teachers were evacuated on safety grounds.
