The Christian Brothers has reached settlements with more victims following the Perth hearings of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
The royal commission last year examined abuse allegations at Christian Brothers colleges in Bindoon, Tardun, Clontarf and Castledare between 1947 and 1968.
Victims described being sexually and emotionally abused as well as being subjected to hard labour.
Many also complained about the amount of compensation they had received.
The royal commission found the Christian Brothers leadership was aware of abuse allegations for decades but failed to act.
It also found at least one Brother who had been accused of abusing children was moved to another institution.
