FORMER Toowoomba Catholic school principal Terence Hayes’ job is in jeopardy as his bosses await findings from the Royal Commission into sex abuse.

A spokesman for Catholic Education in the Archdiocese of Brisbane yesterday confirmed Hayes was on leave from his position as a Year 7 teacher at St Eugene Catholic College in Burpengary.
