Former school principal Gerard McNamara is accused of sexually abusing five students in Victoria.

A former Victorian school principal has appeared in court to face multiple charges of indecent assault against students.

Marist Brother Gerard McNamara attended Melbourne Magistrates' Court on Friday charged with multiple indecent assault offences against five boys at Traralgon.

One incident is alleged to have taken place after a student was summoned to see McNamara for misbehaving in class, the court was told.

McNamara is also accused of punching the student shortly after.

Old school photos and records from the 1970s form part of the prosecution case against the former headmaster, who was charged by summons earlier in 2017.

McNamara will remain on bail until he faces a committal hearing in March.
