The King's School headmaster Tim Hawkes told the parents of a student who suffered an alleged indecent assault on a camp that the boy "bore some of the blame" for subsequent bullying, a royal commission has heard.

The school failed to make a formal report to police about the incident, despite a senior constable advising the deputy headmaster to do so, according to evidence to be presented to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.

In his opening address, counsel assisting the commission David Lloyd told the hearing The King's School student, given the pseudonym CLC, was on a camp in April 2013 when another student allegedly ejaculated on his sleeping bag.

Mr Lloyd told the hearing that the teenage boy was bullied by other students and called "cum rag" and "cum dumpster". The inquiry heard a student changed the name of a Wi-Fi network at the school to "CLC's a cum rag".

The commission was told CLC did not report the alleged incident to the school because that would "make the situation worse".
