Surveys of students at two neighbouring Christchurch schools have revealed thousands of cases sexual harassment. Avonside Girls High School and Shirley Boys share a site and some common areas like the library cafe and a gym.

In the girls' survey 2650 incidents of sexual harassment were reported in the first two terms of the year - with some students being targeted multiple times.
