Student in emergency airlift

A PAKENHAM Secondary College student was airlifted to hospital yesterday morning in a critical condition due to an undisclosed medical condition after paramedics were called to the school.
An ambulance spokesman said the teenage girl had suffered a cardiac arrest.
“She was airlifted to the Royal Children’s Hospital in a critical condition,” he said.
Paramedics were called to the school at 9am to treat the girl.
An ambulance helicopter, which landed in the middle of the school oval while four ambulance units were parked at the front of the school, took off with the patient about 10.30am.
“The whole school is in lockdown,” a school representative told the Gazette in the school car park.
“I cannot say anymore.”
