Brisbane Grammar School (BGS) says it will not refund the school fees of former students sexually abused by paedophile counsellor Kevin Lynch in the 1970s and 1980s.
Many of the abused students gave evidence at Brisbane hearings of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse last November.
In the wake of evidence given to the royal commission, the Anglican Diocese of Brisbane agreed to refund fees to its former students who were abused, after numerous complaints emerged from Lynch’s time at the Anglican-run St Paul’s School in northern Brisbane.
Lynch worked at St Paul’s after his time at BGS.
BGS also agreed to consider the option of refunds, but revealed late on Friday it had decided against refunding fees.
