Ballarat Grammar School's principal alleges older students have been hitting their younger peers in 'some sort of perverse sense of justice for perceived boarding house misdemeanours'.
What's next?A south-west Victorian independent private school is investigating what it calls "horrendous and confronting" allegations of older boarding students striking younger pupils.
Principal Adam Heath said the concerning behaviour allegedly involved "older students striking younger students in some sort of perverse sense of justice for perceived boarding house misdemeanours". Mr Heath said the school's wellbeing team and senior staff were providing support to the affected students and families, and support was also being offered to the alleged perpetrators "as we seek to understand the choices that have led to these behaviours".
