Recent Issues
A group of school kids from the college were filmed harassing and abusing a disabled passenger on a Sydney train who had a developmental disability, it gained national media attention. The school has suspended the students. The woman who uploaded the footage said she was threatened with violence by one of the taunting students when they spotted her filming. Students wearing school uniforms from Georges River College at Oatley are seen laughing as one imitates the voice of the man, who was reportedly pretending to be on his phone while they were taunting him. The victim of the torment only recently gained the courage to travel alone on the train until they were unfortunately tormented. [1]
