St Joseph's Nudgee College to review naming of school house after paedophile Christian Brother Darcy Fidelis Murphy

The title of a "house" at one of Queensland's most exclusive boys boarding schools will be reviewed after the ABC revealed the Christian Brother it was named after was a child abuser.

St Joseph's Nudgee College recently issued a statement to say it was conducting the review into the naming of the house after Brother Darcy Fidelis Murphy – a boarding master and deputy headmaster of the school in the 1980s and early 1990s.

It followed the ABC last week revealing Brother Murphy had been involved in a cover-up of his own abuse of a 14-year-old boarder at St Brendan's College in Yeppoon in 1978.
