Lessons we can learn from ‘The Hunting’

The recent SBS series The Hunting, highlighted the devastation caused by a nude photo scandal and the subsequent ripple effect this had on the students, parents, teachers and the school as a whole. It is a stark reminder of how ill prepared we all are for these incidences, as highlighted by the arbitrary way that all involved tried desperately to make the situation go away. It is a also reminder of the many lessons we can learn. I have friends who have watched this series as well as many teachers and schools that I have been working with recently who are also feeling frightened and fearful at the thought this could possibly play out in their own immediate families and schools.
