As a parent, I am deeply concerned about the safety of my child at St. Johns Park Public School. My child was assaulted by several students, held down and kicked repeatedly, mainly in his groin area. This horrifying incident is not an isolated case; other parents have expressed similar concerns after their children were targeted and assaulted.

The school's current protocol for managing such incidents has proven ineffective in ensuring the welfare of our children. The lack of communication with parents regarding these incidents is also alarming; we are often left uninformed about our children's wellbeing when it comes to bullying and assaults on school grounds.

We believe that a review of the current management process and investigation procedure is necessary to prevent further incidents from occurring. We need a system that promptly addresses these issues, communicates effectively with parents, and ensures the safety of all students.

In Australia alone, one in four students (27%) report being bullied every few weeks or more often (Australian Institute for Family Studies). This statistic reflects an urgent need for schools like St Johns Park Public School to take immediate action against bullying.

We urge the relevant authorities to conduct a thorough review of the protocols at St Johns Park Public School concerning child welfare management processes following assault cases on school grounds.
