SCIENCE EXPERIMENT BURNS TERRIGAL HIGH STUDENTS

Ten students from Terrigal High School have been treated for minor burns after a science experiment went wrong.

Two were transported to hospital, the other patients either went home with their parents or returned to class.

Paramedics were called to the school just after 11 o’clock this morning following reports several students had been injured while handling dry ice.

A spokesperson from the Department of Education says the incident was the result of a casual teacher not following appropriate safety guidelines.

  1. Hi Joy,
    What happened yesterday at Terrigal High has stunned a huge number of people. However, please try not to fret – the Central Coast is a very tight knit community and I’m sure your daughter will get lots of help from local families if she is willing to accept it. I know that one of the other mothers involved is already trying to organise a car pool to transport Jacob to and from Wyong Hospital. I don’t know Jacob (my daughter is in year 11), but I’m quite happy to take a turn at driving them.
    Hope this puts your mind at rest a little
