The chat appeared to be active for about two years and featured current students, former students and their friends.A clearly disgusted Stefanovic called the boys’ actions “deplorable”.“This is one of the most disgusting despicable things I have seen. Yes boys will be boys but this goes too far,” he said on Thursday. “How do we expect these boys to grow up and respect women when they are circulating this sort of rubbish around themselves.“They need to be absolutely pulled over the coals these kids.”Knox Grammar Principal Scott James confirmed in a letter to parents on Wednesday that several students had been suspended or left the school.He said the boys posted “inappropriate images and engaged in offensive commentary” and their actions did not reflect the school’s education standards or expectations of its students.“I am writing to inform you about action the school has taken following an incident involving several boys from the Senior school,” Mr James wrote.“The nature of these posts is contrary to the values and culture of Knox and is unacceptable. “The actions of these boys do not reflect a Knox education or the expectations that we place on our students to be respectful and responsible citizens in the community.”Stefanovic expressed his doubts over whether any action would have been taken if Daily Telegraph crime editor Mark Morri had not broken the story.“I don't think the school would have done anything if Mark hadn’t raised the story,” he said.“They might have done a small amount of things.”In 2009 five Knox Grammer teachers were charged with historical sex abuse crimes, while a 2015 child sex abuse royal commission accused the school of covering up more than three decades of abuse.Knox Grammer’s director of swimming Nicholas Warby was also charged with possessing child abuse material in 2019.Located in Sydney’s affluent upper North Shore suburb of Wahroonga, the massive boarding school charges up to $35,000 a year for students to attend.
