Another prestigious private boys school in Sydney has reported allegations of historic child sex abuse.

The principal of St Ignatius’ College, Riverview, has sent a letter to its old boys informing them that a former student had made allegations of “child sexual abuse over 30 years ago”.

Dr Paul Hine said the matter has been reported to the NSW police.

He said the allegation was passed on to him from the professional standards office of the Australian Province of the Society of Jesus.

Former students of the GPS school include Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Minister for Agriculture Barnaby Joyce.
