LONDON (Reuters) - Drugs were found with students at an Australian high school boarding school, local media reported on Monday.

According to Channel 9 and Radio Three AW, students at Geelong Grammar School in Victoria informed the school authorities about the presence of drugs, and a search, including sniffer dogs, was conducted during the students' holiday.

In a letter, the school's principal, Steve Church, told parents that the school had carried out thorough inspections of the accommodation of the high school students.

"As a result of these operations, the school has become more capable of supporting a handful of senior students and their families," he said.

According to the Australian Associated Press that the school did not inform the police of the incident. The school has not yet issued a statement.

Founded in 1855, the school earns A $ 70,240 ($ 47,500) a year.

Graduates include Prince Charles and media mogul Rupert Murdoch. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was a student adviser at the school in 1983.
