'In the interest of transparency, it was important we inform you of this information as soon as we could and apologise that we were unable to provide it earlier. 'In light of this new information about Mr Brown's presence at World of Learning Point Cook, the Victorian government and Victoria Police may contact you with further information or recommendations and we want to prepare you for that.
