    St Kevin’s

    Seems a lot of stuff going on after a four corners report. Head master just resigned.
    Didn’t a lot of AFL players come through that school ?
    I’m just a public school person and am quite nieve to how these private schools work but isn’t this a highly sports orientated school ?
    A lot more to come apparently.

    They were always a bunch of tough guys when I played against them in the early 00's, typical Catholic boys school tough guy. I wasn't surprised by the PT chanting incident, the fiddling and protection of fiddlers, or the strange response from people associated with the school itself.

    Trinity were tough guys too, and they were in the news as a result of a creepy old man who works at the school cutting a kids hair on school photo day, an act that resulted in a really weird response from alumni and parents alike.

    Not all folks associated with these schools are the same, there's some good people, some bad people and a whole bunch in between, but some of the rubbish people associated with them talk and the adulation they afford themselves is pretty outstanding.

    They were indeed, as was Lachie Hunter.

    Private schooling and the private schools themselves are weird as hell and I have no idea why they continue to be afforded the protection they are in the law.

    Nice to see pedophile activist Andrew Bolt inserting himself into discussion for some reason to note that the teacher given a character reference by the school's principal merely flirted with a teenage boy, and no sex was involved, as if it's some demonstration of iron will.

    Gross.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    There was a priest in Sunshine named Phillip Murphy who was also involved in a scandal to do with students, It’s not just the upper class they target.

    It's usually vulnerable kids or kids under their direct influence. The latter crosses demographics, the former not so much.

    I would say general interest, it's not really Bulldogs or AFL related.

    Well I put it here as it was player / school related, so it is kind of related in we had players come from there.

    The current situation has nothing to do with any Bulldogs players, the link is tenuous in the extreme.

    If you don’t like the post scroll past ., all I posted was is this the school some players went to, it might have ramifications it might not.
    Posters have mentioned some players went to it.

    First it’s a spelling error now this, I’m sorry for being concerned about children who went to that school who might have come into contact with this stuff in fact going by the reports they would have crossed paths.

    You call it tenuous I call it caring.
