“Dear Parents, we have had to initiate a lockdown,” a notification from the school read. “I can confirm all students are safe and any student still inside the school will be permitted to leave shortly.”
Police said officers had arrested a man, who is yet to be interviewed.
Another man was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries “consistent with a stabbing.” He will also be interviewed by police.

“At this stage investigators believe the people involved are known to each other,” police said. “The investigation remains ongoing.”
Photos shared online show multiple police and ambulance vehicles at the school grounds, with students leaving the campus.
It comes less than a week after a Berwick primary school was forced into lockdown amid reports one student had stabbed another.
Emergency services were called to Brentwood Park Primary School about 9am last Thursday, where they treated a boy for non-life-threatening injuries. A female school staff member also received medical attention for minor injuries.
Both Brentwood Park Primary School and nearby Kambrya College were briefly locked down in the aftermath of the incident for the safety of staff and students.
In an email on Thursday afternoon, Brentwood Park principal James Bell told parents of year 1 students that “an older student entered your child’s classroom and behaved in a dangerous manner”.
More to come.
