Dozens of concerned community members gathered in Springfield Lakes to voice their concerns over the recent allegations levelled at Hymba Yumba Independent School (HYIS) on Brisbane's Southside on Monday.
Last week Living Black reported that HYIS was facing claims it had mishandled allegations of inappropriate behaviour of a teacher towards students.
HYIS strongly denies that the school has done anything wrong.
The teacher linked to the allegations of inappropriate touching was arrested and charged with common assault on Friday afternoon.

In March a student told her mother, a Kalkadoon Kuku-Yalanji woman, that a male teacher at the school had touched her inappropriately during a sports event.
The mother reported her daughter's allegations to the school and to the Queensland Police Service (QPS).
QPS said it will be alleged that in March, a 38-year-old Deebing Heights man assaulted the teenage girl at a Springfield Parkway address.
On Friday, police charged the 38-year-old man with common assault.
He is due to appear before Ipswich Magistrates Court on August 28.
Living Black understands that the teacher concerned is no longer employed at Hymba Yumba.
On Monday, parents, students and former teachers spoke at a meeting, demanding that HYIS take accountability.
Calls for the CEO and board to step down are growing, with a protest and student walk out planned for Tuesday and signatures on an online petition growing to more than 400.
Hymba Yumba Independent School has nearly 300 students enrolled from kindergarten to year 12, most of whom are Aboriginal.
The school has previously been recognised for its innovative approach to education.
Some parents whose children attend the school have defended the way the administration and board handled the matter and complained about Living Black's reporting.
In a statement to Living Black responding to NITV's news coverage last week, HYIS said at all times the school prioritises the safety of jarjum (children).
Hymba Yumba said they conducted a thorough investigation, seeking legal advice and direction from the Queensland College of Teachers, QPS, Independent Schools Queensland and the Independent Education Union.
