Victims of sexual abuse at Australia’s oldest Catholic boys’ boarding school have welcomed a formal apology, but say there is a long way to go in the healing process.
A formal service was held last night at St Stanislaus College at Bathurst in central west New South Wales to apologise for historic acts of abuse.
At least 160 students were abused by former staff and priests at the school between the 1970s and 1990s.
Dozens of people gathered at the school’s performing arts centre to hear an apology on behalf of the school and the Catholic Church.
