The Alexandria Police are trying to confirm the identities of five students of Aabuthnott Gallimore High School who have been linked to the assault of the school's Dean of Discipline. The injured Dean of Discipline Gavin Myers remains in hospital following the Friday afternoon attack.

According to witnesses, the attack on Mr. Myers sent students and a few visitors scampering. He was reportedly assisted to hospital by a parent.

According to Mr. Myers the behaviour of the students had gone too far and the school was forced to take action. It's understood that the school board has scheduled a meeting for Tuesday to discuss the attack on Mr. Myers.
