The saga surrounding Trinity Grammar and the sacking of a teacher for cutting a student’s hair may finally have come to a close, with Rohan Brown beginning his first day back at school today.

‘Brownie’ choked back tears as he addressed students and parents at the school gate this morning.

“There is an apology I need to make to the school community for the disruption at the end of last term,” Rohan Brown said.

“But I am so pleased to be back, and hopefully that will make the school a stronger and more resilient place.”
