The Director of the Catholic schools in Samoa, A'eau Chris Hazelman, says an investigation is under way with possible police charges against the students.
Our correspondent says teachers at the college are also being urged to own up if they had seen or were told of the incident, but did not report it to the principal.
A'eau says the teachers may also face expulsion if they would be found.
