The headmaster of a Sydney private boys’ school has told a Royal Commission hearing that he had no idea there was anything sexual about so-called “rumbling” in the boarding house.
Trinity Grammar School headmaster Milton Cujes faced questioning at the child sex abuse Royal Commission in Sydney on Thursday about rape allegations made by two students in 2000.
Mr Cujes, his deputy Peter Green and former teacher Robert Scott all gave evidence that “rumbling” – boys wrestling each other in a non-serious manner – was a normal part of boarding house life.
The prestigious Anglican school in Sydney’s inner west is the first to be examined by the inquiry in a fresh set of hearings examining institutional responses to “problematic or harmful sexual behaviour by students”.
