The boy has been transported to St John of God Midland Hospital for treatment.
WA police said they received reports of an altercation between a group of youths at a school in Ellenbrook just after 3pm.
“Police attended and are continuing to patrol the area,” they said.
“One person has received medical treatment for minor injuries.
“A number of people are assisting police with inquiries.”
Parents were sent a message stating that the school was in lockdown “as a precautionary measure to address an issue on campus”.
“The safety of our students and staff is our highest priority, and we are following all established procedures to ensure everyone remains safe,” the note said.
“Please note: the incident occurred after the final bell and not all students are on the premises.
“Authorities have been notified and are assisting us.”
Parents were advised not to go to the college, “as this may interfere with safety protocols”.
“We will provide further updates as soon as the situation is resolved and it is safe to do so,” parents were told.
“Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this time.”
The Department of Education was contacted, and WA Police has been approached for further comment.
More to come.
