Tasmania’s Anglican Bishop Richard Condie is standing by Hobart’s private girls school St Michael’s Collegiate after a second case involving a former teacher having sex with a student.
A 56-year-old man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has admitted to maintaining a sexual relationship with a student in the 1990s.
The man, who is still registered to teach in two states, will be sentenced in May.
The teacher is the second senior staff member to be prosecuted for the sexual abuse of a student.
A former head of science, Nico Bester, was jailed in 2011 for the sexual abuse of a 15-year-old girl.
