It is the latest video to emerge from the school after another three altercations were filmed at the premises between September 10 and 26.
South Australia Premier Peter Malinauskas said an experienced, former school principal and security guards had been hired to stamp out the violent behaviours.
‘Seeing this vision of deplorable violence at one of our schools is particularly confronting,’ he said.
‘There is no place for violence anywhere, let alone in our schools.
‘Clearly, there is a need for action.’
