Three men charged over the alleged sexual abuse of students at a boys' boarding school at Bathurst in the New South Wales central west are due in court today.

The trio, all aged in their 60s, are facing a total of more than 120 charges.

One of the men is Brian Spillane, who taught at St Stanislaus College in Bathurst in the 1970s and 80s.

In May he was charged over the sexual abuse of five former students.

Since then eight more former students have come forward claiming they too were abused during late-night prayer sessions, and earlier this month police laid 60 fresh charges against the former priest.

The other two men are a Catholic brother, who also taught at the college, and a priest from Armidale.

All three men are on bail.
