12-year-old student in Auckland requires surgery after fellow student attack; school did not initially call ambulance.

12-year-old Somerville Intermediate School student in Auckland needed surgery after being attacked by a fellow student, resulting in a deep gash on his cheek. Parents claim the school failed to call an ambulance or seek outside medical help; instead, the school offered an eye patch. The school maintains it followed procedures and the ambulance was not called as the bleeding stopped while the student was in the health room. The school is investigating the incident and plans to support the boy and his family.
