A private Christian college has rushed to disband a ‘fight club’ being held in a boys bathroom after footage of their violent sparring matches emerged. 

Several male students at Pedare Christian College in Golden Grove, in Adelaide’s northeast, were seen trading kicks and blows in the wild footage. 

In one video, boys could be heard yelling ‘get him’, and ‘oh, s***!’ as two brawled. 

The boys held up their fists before they were urged to ‘go’ by an onlooker. 

One of the boys missed his first swing and received a kick to the stomach so forceful he keeled over on the bathroom tiles. 

Students could be heard stifling laughter and hushing each other as the boy started groaning while curled up on the floor holding his stomach.

A source who provided the shocking footage to The Advertiser told the publication there had been at least 15 of the fights this year. 

They claimed the footage depicted a ‘fight club at this school where students are matched up to fight’.

Pedare Christian College principal James Tamblyn confirmed students had been involved and the school was responding to the incident.

‘Clearly, if there are students who are in any way conducting themselves in a manner which is potentially dangerous then that is outside our expectations,’ he said. 

‘The safety and wellbeing of students and staff and community members is always our highest priority.’ 

Daily Mail Australia has contacted the school for further comment.

South Australia Police said the incident had not been reported to authorities. 

‘SAPOL are aware of the incident however it has not been reported to police,’ a spokeswoman said in a statement. 

Pedare Christian College is an independent, co-ed school with about 1,100 annual enrollments and charges more than $12,000 per year for year 12 students.
