Kormilda College, Berrimah, The Northern Territory: aluminium scaffolding used as weapon in massive brawl.
At about lunchtime on Tuesday 19 October 2010, at Kormilda College in Berrimah, The Northern Territory, school staff and senior students had to try to break up a massive brawl in the school cafeteria.
Unconfirmed reports said aluminium scaffolding was used as weapons.
At least six people were injured, including one who had teeth knocked out in the fight.
Police were called to disperse the violent crowd.
The incident followed complaints from parents in March that there were rampant problems at the Kormilda College's boarding houses.
Parents told the Northern Territory News that physical punch-ups happened "every day", smoking, drugs and drinking was rife, and stealing was prevalent.

The Northern Territory: cronyism, bullying, intimidation and harassment is across the whole of the Northern Territory Department of Education and Training ( DET ). Their motto seems to be DENY DENY DENY.
Cronyism, bullying, intimidation and harassment is across the whole of the Northern Territory Department of Education and Training ( DET ), not just the teachers and those in remote communities.
I am talking about every single corporate division across the agency at ALL levels.
I have come across A LOT of people that agree.
DET has a lot to answer for and the whole department needs an overhaul, not just a change of Chief Executive.
The corporate divisions have a lot to answer for.
Instead of dealing with issues in regard to staffing they prefer to sweep it under the carpet similar to their black lists for teachers and getting rid of said people to wipe their hands clean.
I think their motto is DENY DENY DENY.

The Northern Territory: teachers who actually do their jobs in remote schools are intimidated and bullied by parasite administrators who charter planes to fly in for a day in the community.
Teachers who actually do their jobs in remote schools are intimidated and bullied simply because some administrator does not like them.
How many of these briefcase carrying parasites arrive in a remote community by charter plane just to spend the day, perhaps see a performance and just be back at the hotel in town for drinks?
These are the exact people who should be removed so that more actual teachers can be employed.
