ANOTHER elite Melbourne school has been rocked by revelations of sexual abuse.
A former student of St Kevin’s College in Toorak, now 60, has received a formal written apology and a settlement of his claim over sexual abuse by a teacher, Brother Maurice Howard, in 1969.
The man told the Herald Sun that Brother Howard touched him in the change rooms after cricket practice.
He said he knew of other victims of Brother Howard, who died in 1984, and is angry others have not been encouraged by the school to come forward.
The school did not respond to questions, referring the Herald Sun to Christian Brothers Oceania for comment.
The man said it was well known that Brother Howard, known as the Wombat, would get boys to pose alone in the art room so he could draw them, then touch them.
