The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse
has heard evidence of sexual abuse at the Holy Family Parish Primary
School in Doveton in Melbourne’s south-east and the experiences of
survivors and teachers at the school who tried to speak out.
Abuse survivor Julie Stewart told the hearing she was sexually abused at the school by the parish priest, Father Peter Searson when she went to reconciliation in the confessional in 1984 and 1985. The former Principal of the Holy Family School Mr Graeme Sleeman told the Commission he recalled seeing Ms Stewart run away from the confessional and appearing very upset.
