- The allegations against the teacher were reported to the police on November 1.
A high school teacher in Sydney’s northwest has been charged with child sex offences.
Plumpton High School music and drama teacher Tyson Moon was charged Nov. 14 with three counts of sexually touching a person over the age of 16 and a person under the age of 17 in special care.
The 26-year-old has been banned from teaching while the matter goes to court, after the allegations were reported to police on November 1.
In a letter sent to parents on Tuesday, principal Tim Lloyd said the NSW Department of Education had assigned Moon to a “non-school workplace”.
“With this matter before the courts, the school cannot comment on anything that may be associated with it,” he said.
“As soon as the school was informed of this matter, it followed all related departmental policies and procedures, including student support.”
