Rightside Legal has successfully represented a number of clients who were sexually abused as children at Cathedral College from the 1970s through to the 1990s.

Cathedral College was an all-boys Christian Brothers school on Victoria Parade in East Melbourne. It housed primary and secondary students.

The College was also home for the St Patrick’s Cathedral Choir.

It was staffed and operated by Christian Brothers, including notorious offender Brother Edward Dowlan and Brother William Gerald Barnabas Mitchell.

The school operated between the late 1960s to mid 1990s, closing down around the year 1995.

The Royal Commission found evidence that the Christian Brothers were aware of offending by Brothers they had placed at the school, but continued to allow them to be in contact with students.
