One of Victoria’s most prestigious private schools, Geelong Grammar, has vowed to learn from its mistakes in handling allegations of child sexual abuse.
The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse has handed down its report into allegations of abuse by Geelong Grammar staff between 1956 and 1989.
In its findings, the commission noted times when no action was taken against an offending teacher and a victim was asked to leave the school for talking about abuse.
“The royal commission found that the principal at the time … should have ensured the allegations were investigated and the school council notified,” it said.
