The head girl of one of Australia's most prestigious girls' schools has sparked debate with a speech accusing it of putting profits before students.
Sarah Haynes used her year-end speech to accuse Ravenswood School of peddling an unrealistic image of perfection. The speech was posted to YouTube and provoked strong responses, both positive and negative, on social media.
"It seems to me that today schools are being run more and more like businesses, where everything becomes financially motivated, where more value is placed on those who provide good publicity or financial benefits."
