St Kevin’s

[ledge]

Seems a lot of stuff going on after a four corners report. Head master just resigned.
Didn’t a lot of AFL players come through that school ?
I’m just a public school person and am quite nieve to how these private schools work but isn’t this a highly sports orientated school ?
A lot more to come apparently.

They were always a bunch of tough guys when I played against them in the early 00's, typical Catholic boys school tough guy. I wasn't surprised by the PT chanting incident, the fiddling and protection of fiddlers, or the strange response from people associated with the school itself.

Trinity were tough guys too, and they were in the news as a result of a creepy old man who works at the school cutting a kids hair on school photo day, an act that resulted in a really weird response from alumni and parents alike.

Not all folks associated with these schools are the same, there's some good people, some bad people and a whole bunch in between, but some of the rubbish people associated with them talk and the adulation they afford themselves is pretty outstanding.

Libba & Wallis were St Kevins students.

They were indeed, as was Lachie Hunter.

Private schooling and the private schools themselves are weird as hell and I have no idea why they continue to be afforded the protection they are in the law.

Nice to see pedophile activist Andrew Bolt inserting himself into discussion for some reason to note that the teacher given a character reference by the school's principal merely flirted with a teenage boy, and no sex was involved, as if it's some demonstration of iron will.

Gross.

What admirable restraint.

There was a priest in Sunshine named Phillip Murphy who was also involved in a scandal to do with students, It’s not just the upper class they target.

It's usually vulnerable kids or kids under their direct influence. The latter crosses demographics, the former not so much.

Why is this under the Bulldogs unleashed forum?

I would say general interest, it's not really Bulldogs or AFL related.

Well I put it here as it was player / school related, so it is kind of related in we had players come from there.

The current situation has nothing to do with any Bulldogs players, the link is tenuous in the extreme.

If you don’t like the post scroll past ., all I posted was is this the school some players went to, it might have ramifications it might not.
Posters have mentioned some players went to it.

First it’s a spelling error now this, I’m sorry for being concerned about children who went to that school who might have come into contact with this stuff in fact going by the reports they would have crossed paths.

You call it tenuous I call it caring.

[Remi Moses]

Can’t believe the commentary of a few nutters of one side of the political spectrum
Completely unhinged and frankly should be both taken off the air

[Eastdog]

I believe Tom Boyd is playing for St Kevin’s in 2020 afternoon leaving Norwood in the Eastern Footy League.

I think jeemak probably sums it up well. My school was a private co ed non-denominational school in the outer eastern suburbs which started out in the early 1980s overall a good school.

I have no problem with you posting about it. BAD brought up that this was the wrong thread, you asked where it should go and I suggested a more suitable thread. Should we post about Glenn Maxwell on here because he's a bulldogs supporter, or is the cricket thread more appropriate?

The other thing you mention was nothing to do with a spelling error, what you wrote could have been construed as highly offensive by some, I was just pointing it out. If you don't want to take responsibility for that so be it, but I will continue to call things like that out. This board is better than that.

This is just unbelievable. 24 hours after being appointed the acting principle has been asked to step aside for trying to obstruct a mandatory grooming report.

Have any of you guys seen a film called Dogs in Space? Sam, Chuck, Tim and the rest of the characters in the band were all ex St Kevvy's boys. I knew quite a few through the Melbourne indy music scene and all the ones I knew were *!*!*!*!ed up on heroin. Really bad.

How long ago was that, do you know?

Great singer, great frontman...not a great actor.
That movie has not aged well.

It depends on whether you lived through it or not. It's a pretty accurate representation of the lifestyle back then and I understand why they shot it the way they did.

It's all about the punk ethos and being hand made baby. Anything else would have been pretentious and unrepresentative.

Andrew Bolt has never met a pedophile that he won't defend.

It's a weird one. Who volunteers to throw themselves under a bus to defend the reputation of a kiddy fiddler? And why?

I reckon there's a story to be told there for a brave reporter who seeks it out.

[angelopetraglia]

We have:

Wallis (+ his brother who was recently still playing for the old boys)
Libba
Hunter
West

The club has a strong connection to St Kevins and I'm sure it would have been one of the strong reasons that Tom Boyd chose to play there this year.

Here’s a news article on him

The Unleashed was never the appropriate place for this thread and some of the discussions have certainly veered off topic.
I've given this more scope than I'm otherwise comfortable with so I'm closing the thread
