Prestigious independent Victorian school Geelong Grammar says it wants to encourage survivors of past child abuse at the school who have not yet come forward to contact them for “guidance and support”.
In a letter to all parents, the school announced it had appointed a new “survivor liaison coordinator” to help support those who were sexually abused at the school.
Principal Stephen Meek said the school believed there were former students who were survivors of past child abuse who had not yet come forward.
He said those people could be reluctant to come forward, because they did not want to speak to the school which they held responsible for their abuse.
