boarding school

The case centres on the question of parental responsibility, and whether the parents acted unlawfully by sending their son to boarding school without his consent.

In the older settler colonial countries, the days of Trails of Tears, imprisonment on reservations, the forced removal of children to boarding schools and wars of extermination are mostly in the past.

The government also said a grant to help cover the boarding school fees for children of military families was increased to take account of the VAT increase.

His parents scrimped and saved to pay for his tuition at Alliance, a boarding school run by British missionaries.

His father, Chris, stayed with him for the first six months, but then he returned to Australia and Piastri went to boarding school in England.
