A Tasmanian Christian school has declared it believes sexual abuse took place at the school more than 25 years ago, despite police ruling they can not take the matters further.
In March 2015, a former student at the Calvin Christian School south of Hobart made an accusation against a male teacher at the school.
The teacher left the school soon after the incident in the 1980s, and he is now believed to be overseas.
Christian Schools Tasmania (CST), the association that operates the school, released a statement saying it had spoken to abuse victims in relation to incidents alleged to have taken place in the 1980s and 90s.
In the statement, CST said their claims were accepted, and the Police and the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse were notified as soon as the issues had come to light.
