We feel concern and empathy toward the victim and those impacted by Jarryd Hayne's actions. 

Before his arrival in July 2019, we treated Mr. Hayne the same way that the law does - innocent until proven guilty. Prior to his commencement in the course, we did everything in our power to inform staff and students and gain their feedback regarding Mr. Hayne's participation in the course. 

Based on the advice of the New South Wales courts and upholding the strict conditions of his bail, we took every precaution to ensure the safety of all involved. During his three months with us, Mr. Hayne was on a faith journey and conducted himself appropriately with all staff and students. 

We accept and uphold the verdict of the courts and continue to pray for the victim and those impacted.
