A student has been charged with assault following an incident at a Greymouth school that left another student injured.

Police were called to the school last Wednesday after the youth allegedly assaulted another student.

The victim sustained an injury and sought medical treatment.

The youth was scheduled to reappear in Greymouth Youth Court on August 6.

Greymouth High School said the situation was responded to promptly by police and emergency services.

“Our focus remains on student safety, supporting those directly involved, and ensuring the school continues to operate as normal.”

The school said support was available to students and their families following the incident.
