Students were forced to hide under their desks at the college’s Acacia campus, on Isaac Road at Keysborough, shortly before the school day ended on Tuesday.
Advanced life support and mobile intensive care paramedics arrived at the college within five minutes, and transported the two men to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
In a letter to families, Acacia Campus principal Natalie Fode said Sykes was “recovering well and in good spirits given the circumstances”.
