The police confirmed a report was lodged and investigations are ongoing.

In response to queries from The Straits Times on Feb 23, the school's vice-principal Wilson Tay said it has counselled the affected students and engaged their parents.

"We take the safety and well-being of all our students seriously, and have taken appropriate disciplinary actions on the students involved," said Mr Tay, without elaborating on what these actions were. He also did not provide details about when the bullying happened and when it was reported to the school. "The students have acknowledged that their behaviours were wrong and have expressed remorse," he added.

Mr Tay said the school has zero tolerance for bullying and violence, and will "continue to seek to provide a safe learning environment for all students".
