A black line has been put through paedophile priest Gerald Ridsdale's
name on a board at St Patrick's College in Ballarat honouring
former students who went on to take holy orders.
The school has also placed a plaque beneath it, which reads: "The black line above stands both as a symbol of respect to the bravery of victims and survivors, and for the college's deep remorse."
Ridsdale was convicted in 1993 of more than 100 charges of sexual abuse against children over a period of about 30 years.
