Another former teacher at an elite girls’ school in Hobart, St Michael’s Collegiate School, has admitted having sex with a student.
It is the second time the Anglican-run school has had a teacher charged with similar offences.
The now 56-year-old man, who cannot be named, was charged a month ago and has pleaded guilty to maintaining a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old student for nine months in the 1990s.
In an email to former students, current principal Judith Tudball said she understood the school community could be upset by the revelation.
“It is my sad and disappointing duty to inform you that I have been notified by Tasmania Police that a former member of the St Michael’s Collegiate School staff has been charged in relation to an allegation of conducting a relationship with a minor,” she said.
