| Subject: Uniting Church's school: eight teachers abused students over 30 years, royal commission told Mon Feb 23, 2015 1:16 am | |
| Eight teachers at the prestigious Knox Grammar School abused young students over a 30-year period and yet the school did not notify police, a royal commission has heard.
Day one of a public hearing into the school contained fresh allegations against three staff. Five other staff members have already been convicted over sexual offences involving students.
The commission will also hear evidence that a number of files of students who made complaints of abuse may have been deliberately destroyed.
In his opening address to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, counsel assisting the commission David Lloyd said the school did not report allegations to the police for decades.
