A Melbourne schoolboy is being interviewed by police in Israel over an alleged sexual assault.
The year 10 student from Hawthorn's Bialik College was in the country as part of an annual six-week school trip to China and Israel.
In a statement the school said principal Jeremy Stowe-Linder has travelled to Israel and relevant parents had been informed.
"Bialik College became aware of a serious breach of the rules and expectations surrounding one student attending the Chavayah program," the statement said.
"The breach was reported to the supervising staff and Israel authorities, who are interviewing all parties involved (and) investigating the matter."
The boy has been removed from the school travel program.
