Former judge to investigate sacking of Trinity Grammar teacher who cut student’s hairA former federal court judge and Queen’s counsel will investigate the sacking of a deputy headmaster who gave a student a haircut. Raymond Finkelstein has been appointed by the elite Trinity Grammar school to conduct an independent inquiry into the firing of former deputy headmaster Rohan Brown, who lost his job after cutting a student’s hair before a school photo. The Old Trinity Grammarian’s Association – a group of former students – has threatened to sue the school if Brown is not reinstated. Finkelstein and Enbom agreed to conduct the review on the understanding they would have “the full cooperation of school staff and the school council”. Besides his work as a federal court judge, Finkelstein was the author of an independent inquiry into media regulation in Australia in 2012.
