Two 12-year-old boys have been charged with the aggravated sexual assault of a female student at a primary school on Sydney's northern beaches.
The six-year-old girl reported the incidents herself, Fairfax Media has been told.
It's understood she was raped on two separate days at school in mid-August.
Both boys were allegedly present during both incidents but only one of the boys had sex with her in the second incident, police allege.
The primary school immediately notified the Department of Education who immediately notified the NSW Police's Child Abuse Squad.
After a two-week investigation, the two boys were arrested at Chatswood police station on Tuesday.
One boy has been charged with four counts of aggravated sexual assault and two counts of sexual intercourse with child under 10.
The second boy was charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault and sexual intercourse with child under 10.
Both have been granted bail and will appear in a children's court over the next two months.
"Parents and carers of students at the school are in the process of being notified, and police request the community respect the privacy of the young people involved," police said in a statement on Thursday.
It's understood a letter has been sent home to parents.
"NSW Police Force works closely with the Dept of Education and Family and Community Services to ensure the safety of all students, and additional support has been made available at the school," the police statement said.
"The Child Abuse Squad is comprised of detectives who are specially trained to investigate crimes against children, including sexual assault, physical abuse and serious cases of neglect."
