A leaked document from Tauranga's Bethlehem College is raising concern about its stance on gender.

It includes a number of prerequisites for students, including the school using biological pronouns' for pupils,  and students needing to adhere to practices according to their birth gender.

Tauranga Pride Advocate Gordy Lockhart told Tim Dower the stance the document takes will have a negative impact on the children there.

He says the trauma that students will face at the school is absolutely appalling.
