Convicted child rapist Robert Burrett taught at more than a dozen schools across New Zealand since as early as 1974.
The 64-year-old grandfather and caretaker recently pleaded guilty to raping and abusing young Christchurch schoolgirls in an underground shed in what has been labelled as one of New Zealand's worst child sex abuse cases.
Burrett's teaching record was released by the Ministry of Education on Monday and shows he worked at 13 schools across the country in various roles, including principal and deputy principal.
Earlier this month, a New Zealand Herald investigation found red flags against Burrett's record date as far back as the early 1990s, when he was forced out of Lake Rotoma School, near Rotorua, as principal.
The investigation also revealed Burrett was removed as deputy principal of Pukenui School in Te Kuiti in the early 2000s - a dismissal that was the result of a secret payout.
The schools Burrett has worked at include:
• Arahunga Intermediate, Auckland: 1975
• Kedgley Intermediate, Auckland: 1976 - 1980
• Howick Intermediate, Auckland: 1980 - 1988
• Horeke School, Northland: 1990
• Lake Rotoma School, Rotorua: 1991 - 1992
• St Michael's Catholic School, Rotorua: 1992
• Pukenui School, Te Kuiti: 1993 - 2001
• Christchurch South Intermediate, Christchurch: 2006
• Opawa School, Christchurch: 2006
• Somerfield School, Christchurch: 2007
• Tai Tapu School, Canterbury: 2007
• Rolleston School, Canterbury: 2010
Between 2013 and 2015, Burrett sexually abused young girls while working as a caretaker at a Christchurch school that cannot be named because of a court imposed suppression order.
He installed locks and curtains into the shed to hide his offending.
He also molested disabled girls while working as a special needs bus driver during this time.
Some of his victims were as young as five and one was wheelchair-bound.
Burrett recently pleaded guilty to 21 charges of sexual violation, including the rape, sodomy and forced oral sex of young girls.
