Exclusive: Education department investigation finds former teacher ‘engaged in misconduct’
The alleged abuse was only discovered after the boy died in an accident in his 20s and his mother accessed conversations on his mobile phone.“They have been dismissed from their employment with the department and their name placed on the Not To Be Employed List. The safety and welfare of children and young people is of paramount concern.”
The woman was first investigated by the department’s professional and ethical standards directorate from December 2016 until May 2018. The female school leader was informed of the decision to sack her this week.She had been on administrative work and banned her from interacting with students by the department while the investigation was undertaken., concern was raised when the student’s mother discovered hundreds of messages between the pair dating back about a decade, when he was in year 12 and she was a deputy principal.
Within months, the conversations transitioned away from school matters and appeared to show the pair arranging to meet outside school hours, speaking about kissing and discussing that the teacher’s husband “knows about us”.
