Mullumbimby, NSW: rookie teacher dealing with several simultaneous scuffles in a fight over playground lunch tables. Student slumps to the ground and dies. Rookie teacher now suffers from Post Traumatic stress disorder.

A former Mullumbimby teacher told an inquest in Lismore yesterday how she was in just her fourth day on the job when she came across a playground fight with "three or four'' boys bashing Jai Morcom as he lay on the ground.

That confrontation was just one of several simultaneous scuffles breaking out in a fight over playground lunch tables.

She yelled for the students to break it up, at which point she saw Jai walk over to a wall with his body hunched over, his head lolling to one side and his eyes drooping.

As Jai slumped to the ground she thought he was only "taking a breather'' before realising something was drastically wrong.

While some teachers worked to break up the mob, she and two other staff members stayed with Jai as he struggled to maintain consciousness.

"I was monitoring his breathing and just talking to him, '' she said.

"I was with him when he took his last breath.

Jai never regained consciousness.

The teacher had since been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder and had spent considerable time away from teaching.
