548. Knox Grammar School

Knox Grammar School is a boarding school in Wahroonga, Australia which has been in the center of a media coverage about abuse at the school taking place between 1970 and 2012.

It seems that the reputation of the school mattered more than the safety and well-being of the students. The police faced obstruction by the management.

It could not have been fun to be there as a teenager.
