The headmaster of a private Perth school has told the royal commission into child sexual abuse the school has improved its policies for mandatory reporting.

The commission is investigating how a teacher was able to molest students for 10 years from 1999, despite several colleagues raising suspicions.

The current headmaster joined the school in 2011, after the teacher was convicted.

The school’s child protection policies were inspected in 2012 by an independent consultant, who made 21 recommendations.
