The firm is representing four former pupils who claim they were subject to sexual abuse, grooming or serious physical assaults by former Carey staff. It said it was also in contact with two others considering taking action. “Sadly, this protracted legal process only adds to the pain and trauma caused, not only by the actual abuse but also now through the legal process by the institution that let us down so gravely in the first place,” she toldCarey Baptist Grammar principal Jonathan Walter said that when allegations of historical abuse were raised, the school reached out to the school community and encouraged those affected to contact the institution directly.
Others who came forward to the law firm said children at the exclusive institution were told to strip and forced to walk naked through the showers while a teacher watched on. Carey Baptist Grammar is one of the state’s most expensive schools, with fees for years 11 and 12 set at $40,824 in 2025.
