A student subjected to an unprovoked and lengthy bashing by 12 of his classmates has been granted $1.2 million in compensation. The student at Fairvale High School, in western Sydney , was 14 years old when the other students prevented him from boarding a bus on October 16, 2017. The pack then walked him to a nearby park where footage taken on one of the students’ phones showed him being spear-tackled, kicked, punched and stomped in a lengthy beat-down.
He went back into the school and tried to seek refuge at the office, but it was closed, while calls from his mother to the school to warn them of the danger were diverted to the answering machine. Justice Ian Harrison found there were no teachers on bus duty who could have deterred the pack or intervened when they took the victim to the park to deliver the beating.
