A PLAYGROUND fight over a girl led to yesterday's rampage by axe-wielding teenagers through one of Sydney's leading high schools.

Students fled in terror and two female tuck shop workers ran for safety as three youths armed with machetes and a tomahawk allegedly terrorised the school.

The youths were allegedly yelling out the name of a student as they made their way through the school.

Damage estimated at $30,000 was caused to windows, notice boards and a vehicle at the prestigious Trinity Catholic College at Auburn in Sydney's west.

***NB: Trinity Catholic College had installed a Kappalyn CCTV Security System. Both the placement of the CCTV cameras and the quality of the CCTV images were instrumental in assisting police investigations and the swift resolution of the incident.
