Following the sentencing of Mr Jay Walsh, a previous College teacher, we acknowledge and apologise for the abuse he has been convicted of committing against a number of our Alumni in the 1980s.
We acknowledge and honour the immense courage these Alumni displayed in coming forward and seeking justice for what was done.
What took place was wrong and should never have been able to happen. Regrettably it did, and for that we are sorry.
While we can’t undo what has been done, we assure you that the College is a different institution now, with rigorous processes and child safety measures in place to prevent such events from ever happening again.
For further information or discussions on this topic, please don’t hesitate to contact us on communications@penrhos.wa.edu.au
