The school prospectus told them their daughters “deserve the Roseville experience”, but for Grant and Gloria Mears that experience allegedly involved sub-standard academic results, school bullying and self-harm.
Mr and Mrs Mears pulled three of their daughters out of the exclusive Roseville College in early 2007, saying it was responsible for their eldest daughter, Anna, “bombing out” of the HSC in 2006.
The school is now suing the couple after they refused to pay about $20,000 in outstanding tuition fees and penalties.
