Investigators say a guidance counsellor at a high school in Oakville suffered only a minor cut after being attacked by a student on Thursday morning.

Halton Regional Police say they were called to White Oaks Secondary School on Montclair Drive at 11:30 a.m.

Police said a student attempted to assault the guidance counsellor with a knife. Other staff members intervened and subdued the student before police arrived on scene.

The guidance counsellor suffered a minor cut that did not require attention from paramedics, police said.

Two minors who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act have been taken into custody regarding this incident.

Staff Sgt. Paul Foley said that witness interviews conducted at the scene indicated a second student was involved in the assault, but he said only one knife was used.

Neither suspect has yet been charged as the investigation into the incident continues.
