The 52-year-old was taken to hospital for mandatory blood and urine tests after the incident.
The NSW Minister for Education Rob Stokes, has this afternoon released a statement, communicating his sadness at the tragedy and thanking emergency services and staff:
Our first priority is to support students, staff and parents by any means necessary and allow them time to properly grieve. This will not be a quick process and we will work together with the school community to provide whatever assistance we can.
