'Our paramedics did an exceptional job in stabilising and providing treatment for the teenager who had suffered some pretty serious injuries,' he said. 

'It's absolutely horrific when we respond to jobs like these especially when it involves someone so young. It's every parent's worst nightmare.

'The big concern is that while the injuries may not look substantial on the surface, there can be more significant damage done at a deeper level.'  

It is understood classes have now resumed at the school. 

Inquiries continue.
