Excerpt: In the incident at Glenwood High School t on May 6, a 14-year-old boy allegedly stabbed another male student, 16, twice in the stomach with the kirpan.

The 16-year-old boy was rushed to hospital while the other student, 14, was charged with two counts of wounding a person with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

He is on bail and is due back in court in July. Meanwhile, his alleged victim was only released to hospital on Monday, 11 days after the attack.

At the time of the alleged attack the kirpan was exempt from the NSW Education Department's ban on knifes as school.

The policy states that students caught with other types of knifes face suspensions of up to 20 days and even being expelled.
