    Officers were called by the school to break up a massive brawl between senior and junior students, some of whom were suspected to be inebriated.
    Sunday was the first day of the school year for the school's senior students after the institute was compelled to send all of the grade's more than 400 students home last Thursday, September 1, after many of them arrived at the school drunk following an all-night drinking party.
    The school then said that many of the seniors who arrived drunk "hurled expletives at students from other grades, as well as staff, held up offensive signs and threw water balloons at school staff."
    After Sunday's brawl, the school issued another message to parents in which it said it was cooperating with the police regarding the incident.

    "Following the incident on Thursday, today, unfortunately, an incident of severe violence occurred between students from the 11th and 12th grades," the message read.
    "The police stayed at the scene and handled the incident. Several students were taken for questioning and more students will be called to the police station later. We are obliged to act regarding the incident in accordance with the instructions of the police."
