The Essendon school said it had recently been made aware of the incident and the subsequent sharing of the photo with other teenagers, as well as its possible circulation among students at a nearby girls’ school.

St Bernard’s principal Michael Davies said school administrators had immediately reported the incident to police and investigations were continuing.
