	'Misbehaving' Teacher Leaves for Israel By Larissa Ham The Age March 13, 2008 http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/probe-as-teacher-quits/2008/03/13/1205126082424.html A senior staff member at an Elsternwick Jewish school's girl's campus has left amid allegations of "misbehaviour" involving students. The head of campus for Jewish studies at Adass Israel Girls School, Malka Leifer, was forced to resign last week and left for Israel shortly after, school committee member Issac Benedikt told The Age. "It came both at the same time, she was told she can't be at the school, she said in that case I'm resigning," Mr Benedikt said. The allegations involve some students at the school aged 18 and 19, he said. "We are investigating it at the moment. At the moment we don't have any conclusive evidence," Mr Benedikt said. "We can't really say what happened and what didn't happen." He said professionals including psychologists had been hired to conduct the investigation, but would not say whether the matter had been reported to police. Victoria Police spokeswoman Constable Kate Lawson said she could not confirm whether a report had been made to police. "We would never release information concerning an investigation or the status of an investigation, particularly those victims that are underage," Constable Lawson said.
