The former vice president of a high-fee grammar school alumni association has been suspended over alleged threats as the group’s ‘toxic’ culture is laid bare.
The alumni association of one of Melbourne’s most expensive private schools has taken disciplinary action against a member after a fight over how to celebrate the school’s centenary, as details of a previously secret report into the association’s “toxic” culture are made public.
Jones denies the accusation of intimidation but agrees he was prepared to leak information to the media. He said the decision was particularly egregious given the age of many alumni meant they were unlikely to be on Facebook. The independent volunteer organisation for 19,000 members of old boys and girls is funded by contributions from parents and has an investment account of about $1 million.claimed the newly elected members were being pushed by the school to run for council to transfer control to Carey. The school denied the claim.
“What is clear, is that an agenda was being driven by the President in a manner that was not open and transparent,” the report found. “I will no longer serve on a venomous toxic and backstabbing council that simply have it done the ‘old boys’ way,” she wrote.said Carey had pushed for the review to be undertaken by the school’s lawyers. The incoming president opted to pay more than $18,000 to an external group to review the period of disunity from early 2020.
