World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported50m ago
An ongoing inquiry into an Australian private school has heard testimony from former students alleging they were forced to share beds with teachers during school camps and homestay arrangements. Witnesses described these practices, along with other psychological harms experienced during their time at the institution, as situations where they felt they had no choice.
Additional testimony presented to the parliament accused the school's principal of walking in front of a child while naked during a homestay. The inquiry continues to examine institutional accountability and the welfare of students under these residential and camp conditions.
