KZN Education's Muzi Mahlambi says this is not the first time a teacher has been attacked at the school.
"On Monday, educators protested and did not want to go to school until a second manager had to intervene. Years ago, a newly appointed principal was assaulted. At that time, educators were in support of the principal. There's going to be an SGB meeting to discuss the safety and security at the school this week," he said.
Police investigations are also underway. No arrests have been made.
