THE case against a former teacher of a Toowoomba Catholic school charged with child sex matters has been adjourned.

The 44-year-old man and the school involved cannot be named for legal reasons.

He is charged with indecent treatment of a child under 16 (indecent film), two counts of indecent treatment of a child under 16 (expose), and one count of indecent treatment of a child under 16 (take photograph).

The man has not as yet been required to enter any pleas to the charges and he was not in Toowoomba Magistrates Court when the matters were mentioned yesterday.

It is believed the allegations date back to the mid-1990s and involve two male students under the age of 16.
