Adelaide teacher stood down after sending inappropriate messages to student
A teacher at one of Adelaide’s top private schools has been sacked after he was caught sending inappropriate messages to a student.
PE teacher Jaimie Holland has been stood down from Pembroke School for an alleged breach of professional boundaries and misconduct.
It is understood a friend of the student became aware of out-of-hours text message communication with PE teacher Jaimie Holland and reported it to the school.
Mr Holland, who taught Health and PE, was also the Dean of Student Welfare and provided one-on-one counselling to students.
Mr Holland was stood down on Tuesday with teachers at Pembroke School informed at a staff meeting on Wednesday.
According to parents, they were not informed of the incident until Thursday.
“These things seem to happen all over the place and I put trust in the school,” one parent said.
“I’ll definitely be looking into it and wanting to know more,” another added.
The school says police have conducted an investigation but no further action is being taken at this time.
