VICTORIA’S most exclusive private boarding school, Geelong Grammar, is being investigated for child abuse.
The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse has announced it would “like anyone who has information regarding child sexual abuse” at the school to come forward.
The school, whose fees are among the most expensive in the country at $34,000 for year 12, has some highly notable alumni including Prince Charles, Kerry Packer and novelist Peter Carey.
In a statement, the commission said: “If you were sexually abused at Geelong Grammar School, or have any information about sexual abuse of a child at Geelong Grammar School, the Royal Commission would like to hear from you.” …
Trutmann, a boarding house assistant at the Anglican co-educational school, abused eight to 13-year-old boys over a decade from 1985.
Mr Meek said the school would send the notice to former students and the school community and would also offer details of a counselling service.
