Oranga Tamariki investigating 'report of concern' at Wesley College

Melanie Earley Reporter from Franklin County News

Kia ora neighbours, Oranga Tamariki and police are investigating a “report of concern” at Wesley College.

The investigation follows the Education Review Office (ERO) confirming it was undertaking a “special review” of the school due to “significant concerns” about the school and its hostels.

There had also been allegations of students at the Methodist college receiving “coverings”, where they were made to cover their faces before being punched, kicked and slapped by older students.

Tim Baldwin of Oranga Tamariki confirmed a report of concern had been received and the organisation was investigating with police.

Poll: Should you ask before planting tall shrubs/trees near your property line?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It may be fine now but in a few years trees can block out light or views for neighbours.

Do you think neighbours should ask before they go ahead and plant these?
