The mother of a boy allegedly sexually victimised in the Wesley College boarding hostel by another student says she has laid a complaint with Child Youth and Family.
The woman said she went to the agency yesterday because she was unhappy with delays with the handling of theproblem by authorities at the state integrated college - the oldest registered school in the country.
Another parent has come forward to publicly claim his son was also jumped on in night-time attacks last year, in which the perpetrators entered rooms cloaked in sheets to avoid being identified.
He withdrew his son from the boarding hostel.
In the latest case, the mother, who first spoke to the Herald last week on the condition of anonymity, told of being frightened after hearing her 12-year-old had been jumped on while in bed in the hostel in his first weeks away from home.
Two Year 9 students were suspended over sexual allegations relating to several students, including the woman's son.
Wesley College Trust Board chairman Rev John Murray said yesterday the pair remained suspended from the hostel.
They also remained suspended from the school pending a report from the board of trustees' discipline committee, to be presented at a board of trustees meeting tomorrow night.
Mr Murray said the boards were following the correct processes and were operating within required time frames.
He said the school and hostel authorities took bullying allegations seriously.
A report by boarding manager Bill Leach, following interviews with two now-suspended students, detailed how one boy admitted "dry humping" two students over three weeks.
It continued that the other boy had said he had performed the action on five students before Easter.
Wesley is a decile-two, state-integrated Methodist college.
Its hostel, which is a private boarding establishment, accommodates about 30 girls and 260 boys - the vast majority of the school roll.
An Education Review Office report last year criticised a lack of communication between the boarding house and boarders' parents.
