A multi-billion-dollar body overseeing seven Catholic schools in Victoria, including Melbourne's St Kevin's College, has written to apologise to parents after receiving a notice that it has failed to carry out its obligations under child safe standards or to demonstrate appropriate oversight of child safety.
The process began in 2020 after St Kevin's and its governing body, Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA), were referred to the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA) following a Four Corners investigation, Boys Club, into the school, which alleged a toxic culture that prized reputation over child safety.
