St Peter's College excludes student for buying cannabis on grounds
An Auckland college is refusing to apologise to a student it booted out for buying cannabis on school grounds even after the ombudsman ruled the punishment was "unreasonable." In 2022, the St Peter's College, Year 11 student, admitted to buying weed at school and smoking it outside the grounds. He was initally suspended, but the board later decided his actions amounted to gross misconduct and it excluded him, St Peter's College Headmaster James Bentley speaks to Lisa Owen.
