Marian College under investigation following alleged historic child abuse claims

MARIAN College is being investigated by a legal firm following accusations of historic child abuse dating back to the 1990s. Shine Lawyers have advertised a call out for witnesses following the claims at the Myrtleford secondary college. The advertisement asks students or staff members of the school at the time of the claims of child abuse to come forward and speak confidentially with a lawyer to assist with the law firm’s ongoing investigation. Executive director of Catholic Education Sandhurst Ltd Kate Fogarty said the safeguarding of their students remained the Catholic school’s highest priority. “We express our deepest concern for all survivor-victims of child sexual abuse and acknowledge the profound pain and suffering that such experiences cause,” she said. “We have robust protocols and policies in place to support the safety and wellbeing of all students. "We are committed to maintaining a transparent and open dialogue with our community and if any member of your community has any concerns or needs support, please do not hesitate to contact the Catholic Education Sandhurst office.” Anyone with information about the allegations at the Myrtleford school can contact senior solicitor Penny Toniolos on 03 9616 4209 or ptoniolos@shine.com.au.
