Multiple government agencies were called in to deal with a group of young boys caught playing sex games at a Catholic school in the Wellington region.

Oranga Tamariki responded to the “distressing” incident – which was described as “harmful sexualised behaviour” – along with the Ministry of Eduction which sent in more teacher aids to support the students earlier this year.

However, criticism has been levelled at how the incident was dealt with by the school.

Stuff has chosen not to name the school in order to protect the identity of the children involved but understands the incidents involved one young boy as the ring leader and seven to nine other young boys in a bathroom.
