The female teacher, who has permanent name suppression, was the subject of a number of complaints from Year 13 students of the unnamed school. The principal said: "A number of Year 13 students complained to a counsellor and deans about [name of teacher] behaviour as a teacher. The principal of the school put forward a mandatory report to the then NZ Teachers Council, following the teacher's resignation. The Tribunal ruled that the teacher be censured for her admitted serious misconduct and issued a number of conditions, including that she be mentored in developing relationships with students. Documents show the Complaints Assessment Committee (CAC) proposed that the mandatory report be resolved by agreement - to which the teacher agreed, but which the school declined to agree.
