Following the release of pepper spray in the back stairwell of The Runcie Building, 22 students were taken to hospital following assessment on-site by doctors and para-medics.  These students suffered symptoms which included minor breathing problems, coughing and sore eyes, leading in some cases, to nausea and headache.  Students were taken to hospital as a precautionary measure and all were released during the course of the afternoon.

A 12 year old boy was arrested on school site in possession of pepper spray.  He is now under investigation by the police.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank all students for the mature and sensible manner in which they co-operated throughout the incident.

Thanks also to the staff at the school and the emergency services who dealt with the incident.
