悉尼与天主教组织Opus Dei关联的Redfield College学校成为独立反贪委员会（ICAC）秘密政治捐款案的调查焦点[1]。该案代号为Rosny，涉及四名目标人物——Robert Assaf、Jeremy Greenwood、Jean-Claude Perrottet和Charles Perrottet，他们均为该校校友[1]。学校前校长Dominic Perrottet曾在2000年担任此职，现为前州长，但未受ICAC指控[1]。
校友回忆学校营造了一种严格保守的氛围，通过导师制对学生进行监控，并引导学生进入Opus Dei研究中心[1]。部分校友声称曾遭遇针对性骚扰和歧视[1]。据学校披露，教职员中约一半是Opus Dei成员[1]。Opus Dei在澳大利亚仅有600-700名成员，占天主教徒总数（超过500万）的极小比例[1]。
Redfield College由教育父母基金会（PARED）于1986年创立，该基金会管理悉尼四所学校[1]。根据PARED的2025年财务报告，该基金会年营业盈余达440万澳元，净资产超过1.11亿澳元[1]。学校去年获得2420万澳元联邦资金和630万澳元州资金[1]。2023年，NSW教育标准局对该校及其姐妹校进行了调查，学校声称调查后未发现不利结果[1]。
Redfield College, a Sydney school with ties to the Catholic organization Opus Dei, has come under scrutiny following an anti-corruption investigation into secret political donations. The Independent Commission Against Corruption's Operation Rosny has targeted four individuals, all Redfield alumni: Robert Assaf, Jeremy Greenwood, Jean-Claude Perrottet, and Charles Perrottet.[1] Dominic Perrottet, who was headmaster in 2000 and later became NSW premier, has not been accused by ICAC.[1]
Former students have described the school as operating within an intensely conservative and monitored environment.[1] The institution employed a mentoring system designed to supervise students closely and directed them toward Opus Dei study centers, according to alumni accounts.[1] Some former attendees reported experiencing targeted harassment and discrimination during their time there.[1] The school stated that approximately half of its teaching staff are members of Opus Dei, which maintains only 600 to 700 members across Australia—a fraction of the nation's Catholic population exceeding five million.[1]
Redfield College was established in 1986 by the Parent Education Resource and Development Foundation (PARED), which manages four Sydney schools.[1] In 2023, the NSW Education Standards Authority conducted an investigation into the school and its sister institutions but did not publicly release findings; the school has claimed no adverse results emerged from the inquiry.[1] Recent financial disclosures show PARED reported an annual operating surplus of A$4.4 million in 2025, with net assets exceeding A$111 million, while the school received A$24.2 million in federal funding and A$6.3 million in state funding in the previous year.[1]
