Teen charged with stabbing fellow student at Bundaberg school

A 15-year-old girl has allegedly stabbed a fellow student with a knife after an argument got out of hand at a central Queensland school.

The victim, also 15-years-old, suffered a non-life-threatening cut in the attack and was taken to Bundaberg Hospital for treatment while her alleged attacker was charged with one count of wounding.

The two students were allegedly arguing with each other about 11.15am on Monday, November 12 at Kepnock State High School in Bundaberg.

The Department of Education in a statement said it was aware of the incident.

"Any situation that threatens the safety and well-being of students or others in the school community is treated extremely seriously, and dealt with as a matter of priority," a department spokesman said.

"The school has also implemented a school-wide Positive Behaviour for Learning program
that explicitly teaches students expected behaviours [including anti-bullying].

The 15-year-old accused will be dealt with under the Youth Justice Act.
