Staff and students at Botany Downs Secondary College have returned to class after being evacuated this morning.
In a statement, the school said it received a threat which was treated as credible so they evacuated campus and consulted with police who "took all reasonable steps to establish it as a hoax".
Principal Karen Brinsden said: "As a precaution, we have put in place actions moving forward and the police will increase external patrols around the school and local area over the next few days.
"Following police advice that the threat was not credible; school is returning to class.
"We have completed our evacuation process and all students, staff and persons on-site are safely accounted for. Everyone did extremely well and responded to instructions."
A police spokesperson told 1News this morning: "Police are investigating after an email of a concerning nature was sent to staff at Botany Downs Secondary College.
"We were notified of the incident at around 8.12am this morning. Initially, the school self-initiated an evacuation as a precaution.
"Police attended the school and found nothing untoward, and students have gone back to class.
"We would like to reassure the public that we believe there is no credible threat.
"There will be a Police presence at the school today for reassurance purposes."
It comes after Western Springs College students were evacuated yesterday, with bomb squads and dogs on campus.
The Herald reported that Principal Ivan Davies said "They [police] found no evidence of a bomb and all is well.
“This is one of those things where we have to take all the precautions, because if you don’t you risk a lot.”
