A group of junior students at��Westlake Boys High School��were chased and assaulted outside Rosmini College by three older boys after a highly charged premier basketball game.��

The incident happened around 8.45pm on Friday, August 16 - moments after the whistle to end the game blew, which saw Rosmini win 109-51 over Westlake.��

According to both school principals, two of the Westlake students were caught and assaulted. Both boys were injured and one was concussed and treated at a nearby accident and medical centre.��

One of the alleged offenders was a former student at Rosmini College who was expelled last year. The other two were not associated with either school, according to Rosmini College principal Nixon Cooper.��

The moments leading up to the incident were caught on CCTV cameras at the North Shore school.��

Cooper confirmed the incident happened just outside the school, and he has checked in on the injured boys.��

He said he and Westlake Boys’ principal David Fergusson have been in contact several times. “We are working very closely on it,” Cooper said.��

“He assured me the boys were back at school and not in hospital.”��

Fergusson said the Westlake students were seen on CCTV “fleeing” from the school, with the attack happening on the roadside outside the school.��

He told the��Herald��the police are now dealing with the incident and the CCTV footage was with them.��

“One of the older boys had been expelled last year, and the other two - we have no idea who they are,” Cooper said.��
