The Dilworth Trust Board will formally acknowledge and apologise to its community for the abuse that occurred at Dilworth School. It is a private occasion for survivors of abuse, their families and whānau, and other members of the Dilworth community.
The purpose of the apology is to acknowledge and take accountability for the decisions, actions and failures that led to several decades of abuse at Dilworth School and the harm it caused. The Dilworth Trust Board of today will give the apology, taking ownership for the failings of the School’s leadership and governance of the past. The acknowledgement and apology is being offered in the hope that it will contribute to the healing of survivors, Old Boys and our wider community, and reconciliation within the Dilworth community.
