Following last year’s sports day, the school took to social media to congratulate a number of students for breaking records, saying it was “not an easy achievement”.
The transgender student was singled out for setting a new under-13 female javelin record of 20.58 metres — smashing the previous record by more than three metres.
It did not make a similar post this year, sharing only the overall house results.
The father said usually the sports day notice would be sent out with all the winners “but it didn’t come out (this year) because this (child) won the majority of the events — running, high jump, javelin, discus”.
He stressed that he didn’t want the transgender student to “cop abuse” but said “we can’t allow this kind of stuff to happen, to change the whole school for one person”.
Another father, who has three children at the school, said “the entire day was marred”.
“Literally all day, it was all anyone was really discussing,” he said.
The school last year also began installing gender-neutral toilets.
“I have a daughter at the school and if (this child) is being freely allowed to go into the female toilets, you’re setting yourself up for lawsuits,” the dad wrote.
