The former headmaster of an elite Sydney school where boys were sexually abused by teachers will give evidence at a hearing on Monday.
Ian Paterson, who was headmaster of Knox Grammar on Sydney’s north shore for 30 years until 1998 will be in the witness stand at a royal commission hearing into how the exclusive private school responded when boys alleged sexual abuse by teachers.
The commission heard evidence last week that Dr Paterson protected teachers in order to preserve the reputation of the school.
The former moderator of the Uniting Church in Australia Jim Mein will also give evidence.
Mr Mein is expected to deny an allegation contained in an email presented on Friday that linked him to advice given to the school to destroy pertinent documents.
