Students at a Victorian primary school at the centre of a probe into historical child sexual abuse threatened to reveal that teachers were preying on children, a former pupil has told an inquiry.
On Tuesday, a Victorian investigation into allegations of historical child sexual abuse at Melbourne’s Beaumaris primary school and 23 others heard from a former student who alleges he was abused by former teacher Grahame Steele three times during the 1960s. On one occasion, the inquiry heard, he was abused after Steele and another adult had taken a group of boys to a holiday house.
