Some private school principals have biased motives - they should not be allowed to make life-changing decisions concerning staff. We need a Royal Commission.
I'm aware of a Victorian private girls school where several excellent teachers and administration staff have been forced out by a principal's tactics that wouldn't stand up in a Court Of Law.
Many private school principals operate with impunity, outside of Due Process etc.
They are serial bullies with no leadership qualities, only their secret agenda.
Frankly a Royal Commission is warranted - and procedures to handle complaints implemented.
Principals must comply with Due Process and not be involved in manipulating the outcomes of investigations.
Principals with biased motives are not qualified to make life changing decisions concerning staff.
Where and how can this matter be seriously addressed?
