The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse has announced it will examine allegations of child sexual abuse in 2007 at St Saviour’s Primary School in Toowoomba, Queensland.
The public hearing will take place in Brisbane and is scheduled to run for two weeks from 17 February.
The hearing will look into the response by the Catholic Education Office of the Diocese of Toowoomba in Queensland, to the allegations made against a teacher at the primary school in September 2007.
The teacher was sentenced to 10 years jail in 2010 for the rape and molestation of 13 students aged between nine and 10-years-old.
