On the afternoon of 28 July 2008, teachers from the St Laurence’s College assisted students threatened by a group of armed youths in Brisbane, Queensland.

During the lunch break, two groups of armed youths entered the St Laurence’s College school grounds. A group of four youths, armed with a meat cleaver and a metal pole approached students on the playground. As teachers verbally challenged the youths, one of the youths quickly pulled out the meat cleaver, swung it wildly and hit a student in the face. The students began to run away, however the attacker was able to stab another student in the back. Two teachers chased the attackers through the school and off the school grounds, while another teacher stayed to protect the students. A second group of armed youths who also made their way through the school grounds were challenged by two other teachers. The second group fled, with the teachers in pursuit. This enabled them to direct police to the youth’s location.

For their actions, the recipients are recognised by the award of the Group Bravery Citation.

Once again we’re separated by a common language. LOL

They Sawed off the invaders? We just use guns here in America but that’s barbaric (s/)

I refuse to see what the sexual orientation of these ‘teachers’ has to do with any of this.

Does anyone know specifically who the yoots were that attacked the school?

Well I guess that’s better that sawing off school invaders arms.

If you are going to SAW off armed intruders, may I suggest the above. :)

Something odd about the photo at top. Kendall's hands don't match each other at all.
