A teenager pleaded guilty in Magistrates? Court to unlawfully causing bodily harm to a 13-year-old during a dispute at school.
The court heard that on January 27 last year, Stephanie Hollis, who was 15-years-old at the time, called over another CedarBridge Academy student as she attempted to leave the school.
Hollis confronted the 13-year-old girl and when Hollis didn?t like the answer the girl gave her she pushed the victim in her face. The young girl attempted to protect herself and a fight ensued.

When asked by Acting Senior Magistrate Carlisle Greaves if she had anything to say for her actions, Hollis replied: ?I just...I beat her up.?
