Allegations of child sexual abuse at Sydney’s Saint Ignatius’ College, Riverview have been reported to NSW Police, the school says.
The principal of the prestigious private school, Paul Hine, wrote to the old boys yesterday informing them a former student had made allegations concerning child sexual abuse over 30 years ago.
Former students of the school include Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Minister for Agriculture Barnaby Joyce.
Mr Hine said the matter had been reported to police and the school was assisting the Jesuits’ professional standards office with its investigations.
In the letter, Mr Hine wrote he would also tell the boys at the school about the allegations later today.
