Police are investigating an incident at Haeata Community Campus in Christchurch, where a student under 16 used a pair of scissors to assault two teachers.
The attack occurred in the primary section of the school on Wednesday afternoon, leaving one teacher with a cut palm and another with head injuries.
Both teachers received treatment and are on leave for the rest of the week but did not require hospitalisation.
The school is conducting its own investigation, but classes will proceed as usual on Thursday.

Teachers being shot to death in the USA…
Teachers being beheaded in France…
Teachers being stabbed and assaulted in NZ, (some of which go unreported…)
If this is what happens to the Teachers in Western Society, imagine what your children have to deal with in the …’schools’…!
Bad lunches, a failed curriculum, bullying, assaults, and the ever-present distraction of ‘Smart Phones’ which dumb-down the cerebral cortex are the outcomes of modern ‘programming’…er…education!
Then, there are the attacks at the bus stops…
Home-school if you can, and be free from the aspects and costs from all of the above. The system is designed to fail while keeping you broke, and possibly thrown in jail when your child can’t take anymore and goes truant to escape a horrendous system!
98% of those home-schooled enter Uni.
What about a good spanking ???
Totally agree.
And for the parent(s) too.
Why the obfuscation? The stabbing scissors were certainly not toddler plasic scissors.
Real scissors, as used in school, are like daggers They can and do kill..
I once visited a pre-school that had actual trade tools in the play area…saws with sharp teeth, hammers, and hand-drills.
One child just missed having her jugular sliced open when one of the obnoxious boys swung the handsaw it at her!
No door hinge guards anywhere to be seen…
When I called this out to the pre-school director, she just looked at me with a blank stare…
And…there were real scissors in the art area as well, with kids running at high speed with those pointed outward.
This is an example of why parents need to keep their children OUT of such systems,
Social Workers (Family Interferers) would often show-up and write reports on the children without their parent’s knowledge or consent.
And many of the activities were very questionable, ie 3-5 y/o girls with make-up applied by the pre-school teachers, cameras set-up, and an *ambulance standing by…(*in case something went wrong with the ‘production’???)
Making child porn perhaps? One parent asked the pre-school teachers (change agents) and director (fuherer) why her daughter has bruising in her crotch…again…another blank stare.
