Boys from an elite school have been counselled, suspended or asked to leave after the discovery of an 'offensive' group chat, the headmaster says.
abc.net.au/news/knox-grammar-group-chat-reviewed-by-police/101393804Police are reviewing the contents of a group chat run by students of an elite Sydney school after messages were passed on by the Daily Telegraph.
Mr James said the nature of the messages were "contrary to the culture and value of Knox" and "unacceptable". "The actions of these boys do not reflect a Knox education or the expectations that we place on our students to be respectful and responsible citizens in the community.""We take no pleasure in the action we have taken, but we believe we have found the right balance between upholding the values of this community and the need for consequences."Knox is one of the city's most expensive private schools and charges annual fees of more than $30,000.
"Police will continue to review activity, make inquiries and will work with the school, parents and the eSafety Commissioner in relation to any matters that arise."
