A 16-year-old boy has suffered a minor injury after he was stabbed by a 15-year-old boy at a Raymond Terrace high school.
Police were called to Irrawang High School about 10am on Monday, June 19 following reports of a stabbing.
Officers were told a 15-year-old boy stabbed a 16-year-old boy following an argument.
The 16-year-old boy was transported by ambulance and taken to John Hunter Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The victim's mother told the Newcastle Herald her son had sustained a stab wound to the stomach and was still being monitored at the hospital at 6.30pm on Monday evening.
"He is doing okay, they're just worried about internal bleeding. It shouldn't have happened," she said.
She said her son had been a student at Irrawang for the past 15 months and she was "scared" to send him back.
The 15-year-old was taken to Raymond Terrace police station where he is assisting with inquiries.
A NSW Department of Education spokesperson said following this morning's incident, staff immediately supplied first aid to the student who was stabbed and emergency services and parents were contacted.
"Support has been made available to any students who may have been affected by the incident," they said.
