A SYDNEY teacher has revealed she was left scared for her life after a group of school students flew the ISIS flag and threatened to behead her.

The teacher, known only as Mrs A, said the children were as young as 10 and the incident occurred in 2014 as Islamic State was making inroads in Syria and Iraq.

She told Mark Latham’s Outsiders program that the students, aged between 10 and 13, waved certain flags in class.

“I had students coming into class flying flags from overseas, be it the Syrian flag and possibly the ISIS flag. It looked to me like the ISIS flag,” she told Latham on Wednesday’s program.

The boys also made threats to her with a throat slitting gesture.

“That was quite scary and it wasn’t only scary for me but it was also quite intimidating for the other students,” she said.

“The other students were quite frightened, non-Islamic and Islamic students.”

Sitting alongside Sydney psychiatrist Tanveer Ahmed, she told Latham that another occasion, a group of boys came to the western Sydney school possibly wearing T-shirts with the ISIS logo.

They also encircled her and began reciting the Koran at her.

Mrs A said she had taught in the Canterbury-Bankstown area for around 10 years and the students’ behaviour had both shocked and terrified her.

In March Mrs A revealed her shocking experience at the hands of the students and in an exclusive interview with the Daily Telegraph told how she was forced to leave the public education system.

She said students threatened to kill her family and that multiple complaints to the Education Department were dismissed.

Mrs A taught the Year 5 and 6 students at Punchbowl Public in Sydney’s southwest for two years before resigning.

Her story follows other complaints at the school who had made formal complaints over fears of religious violence.

The Education Department said at the time that it wasn’t aware of any religious-related violence at the school.

“The Department of Education continues to work closely with law enforcement agencies on such matters,” a spokeswoman told The Telegraph.

And in an interview with 2GB’s Ben Fordham yesterday she said how frustrated she was that nothing was being done to stop this behaviour occurring today.

She said the incident where she was surrounded by students chanting the Koran at her was sparked after they took exception to being told what to do.

Mrs A, who was not identified by Fordham, said she didn’t know why this behaviour wasn’t eradicated and she wasn’t sure if it was fear of being labelled a racist or people losing their jobs which made them reluctant to speak out.

“Some of my best students are Muslims, so you can’t tar everyone with the same brush,” she said.

But she warned the government needed to take better steps to stop students being radicalised.
