Catholic schools continue to ignore the bullying in there school so children get hurt or this worse case case killed.Families need to start to stand up and tell catholic schools you want your children safe the only difference now between Catholic and State is the Price tag. The bullying is still an issue in all schools and cause so much Damage low self esteem which also leads to self harm and possibly Suicide . Im talking from experience. I know my child is safer at home now being educated through Home school he is no longer at risk of being hurt by children that feel they have the right to attack other children ,teenagers. How safe is your Child . I feel so sad for this family losing there son my heart goes out to them and I hope and Pray that St Patricks College is putting there hand up and supporting this family through the greif and finicial support for counceling . I thinks its time we as a nation bring in metal detectors to check our children so they are safe in school grounds. Bullying needs to be taken seriously its not a silly thing its horrible act of trying to destroy a young person self worth.

This school has a strict bullying policy, and i would know because i go there. this is a freak incident that the people of st patricks did not see coming. and also Catholic education Australia in conjunction with Edmund Rice Education Australia have strict bullying policies. please don't inslut us by using the price tag approach to this school. the school also did support all people who needed counciling. and metal detectors in schools? are you crazy? there is no need and that is just an extream approach to this. all that is needed is more education on the topic of bullying.

Aka, biased shill.

I must say, there is a huge part of this to blame this on the school. Enforce policy, or this will happen.
