Overview
- Four staff members, whose lawyers entered pleas on Tuesday in Queanbeyan Local Court, will contest common assault charges and the matter returns in June.
- Prosecutors charged two women aged 65 and 63 and a 38-year-old man with one count each, while a 46-year-old man faces three counts.
- Police say the alleged assaults involved two children aged 9 and 10 at a local primary school between August 2024 and June 2025.
- The NSW Department of Education says the staff are off-site, the case is with its Professional and Ethical Standards unit, and the school remains fully staffed for students.
- Courts have restricted publication of the school and teachers’ names to protect the children’s identities, which is standard when minors could be identified.
