Outside Casula High School on Myall Road in Casula, a suburb about 30 kilometres southwest of central Sydney, a 15‑year‑old boy was stabbed several times in the abdomen early Monday morning.
Emergency services arrived around 8:30 a.m. after reports of an assault outside the secondary school. Paramedics found the boy with multiple stab wounds to his abdomen and treated him on scene before moving him to a nearby hospital.
Doctors say he is in a serious but stable condition and that his injuries are not considered life‑threatening.
Police have established a crime scene outside the school and opened an investigation into the assault.
Casula High School’s campus, located on Myall Road, is surrounded by residential streets that are home to a diverse community. The school reportedly had security cameras and a perimeter fence, but the incident raised questions about safety protocols for students and staff.
Local media outlets noted that the teenager was stabbed multiple times in the abdomen “near Casula High School,” and that authorities were treating the injuries as non‑life‑threatening.
Police officers on the scene are asking the public for any witnesses or footage that might help identify the assailant. “We are looking for anyone who saw what happened or who may have information about the suspect,” one officer said, according to local news reports.
Casula High School’s principal said the school would review its security arrangements following the incident, and that support will be available for affected students and staff.
The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to determine the motive and identity of the perpetrator.
