Some years ago, a year 8 boy died from a peanut allergy at a school run camp.
The Principal has since retired, but the Welfare Teacher with responsibility for that boy might still be in the same substantive position, years on. That teacher was aware of the issue, whereas the Principal was a bit hazy on subjects like what day of the week it is.
It is understood the incident has been ruled an accident. Is the Department of Education hiding evidence that covers up the true nature of the accident?
A song on the incident has been posted at

Hi Weasel
It is good to see that you are highlighting this important issue.
It is utterly unacceptable that just because the principal has left the employ that he/ she should avoid all consequences.
Stupidity that allows him to conveniently not be able to ascertain what day of the week it is, or was, is neglect of the institution, and most especially of the children in his/her care.
The "welfare" officer needs to be explaining thoroughly ALL the circumstances, and their ability to control the welfare of other children. Their culpability needs to be determined in a transparent manner, though sadly I doesn't usually happen.
This needs to change!
I certainly hope that the family brings the full extent of the law raining down upon ALL of those involved.
There is no doubt in my mind that many important facts are obscured from scrutiny by the Education Dept via the humble technology of the shredder.
Make these people accountable for this tragic death, that occurred in their care. Ignorance even false ignorance is not a defence for the negligence involved.
