Mount Hutt College. Photo: suppliedThe use of cellphones at a Methven high school is under scrutiny after a student allegedly filmed one of their peers without their permission. "Given the severity of this matter, I have decided to suspend the student from school pending a hearing from the Board of Trustees," Saxon said. Mount Hutt College staff received several disclosures from school pupils which Saxon described as "critical in minimising the potential impact on the victim". The use of cell phones at the school is set to come under review which could lead to a change in school policies.
