‘This morning our school received a threatening email and as a result we have evacuated staff and students to Patrician Brothers Fairfield,’ she said.

‘This is just a precaution while police are on site and attend to the email.
‘There is no cause for alarm, your children are safe and being looked after. If you would like to pick them up you are welcome to do so from the Patrician Brothers’ College, however this is not necessary and there is no need to rush.’
Several hours after the first notice, parents received an update from the principal.
Ms Vella thanked the parents who had picked their children up from the college and confirmed students were safe with their teachers.
Parents were advised that children would be taken back to school grounds and dismissed with after school care to go ahead as usual.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted NSW Police and Sydney Catholic Schools in relation to the incident.
Our Lady of the Rosary is a primary school in Sydney’s western suburbs that caters to students aged 5 to 12-years-old.
