Scots College slams students' homophobic social media posts

From Checkpoint, 6:22 pm on 8 September 2020

A Wellington school has criticised the actions of students who used homophobic language and images in videos posted on social media.

The posts were uploaded by one student, and shared on Instagram over the weekend, following the school's Pride Week.

The school has taken action, and the headmaster says the attitudes are against Scot's College's values.

Members of the school's Queer-Straight Alliance say they hope the issue will become a catalyst for change at the school.
