REVESBY Catholic school De La Salle College is facing multiple lawsuits for alleged child sexual abuse.
Three cases have been filed against the school over the alleged abuse of Grade 6 and 7 students in the 1970s and 80s.
However the teacher allegedly responsible, Brother Anselm Hallam, died in the early 1990s aged 92, before his charges could be heard in court.
De La Salle also faces lawsuits for alleged child sexual abuse at its Marrickville college.
Sydney Catholic Schools executive director Dr Dan White said he wasn’t in a position to comment “as it is an historical matter” and responsibility for the school was entrusted to the De La Salle Brothers at that time.
However he condemned the actions of anyone who abused children.
