Four elite Sydney schools are facing multimillion-dollar lawsuits by former students who say they suffered sexual abuse during their time at the colleges.
Ten damages claims have been filed in the NSW Supreme Court against four schools – Knox Grammar, Waverley College, De La Salle College Revesby Heights and The Scots College – according to Sydney lawyer Ross Koffel.
A former Knox student, Mr Koffel said he is preparing two further claims and is investigating another eight potential cases.
He said the students involved were allegedly sexually abused by teachers on school grounds or during a school activity, and the schools are accused of failing in their duty of care to the students.
