Andrew Barr, principal of The Geelong College, south-west of Melbourne, was allegedly photographed through a window as he watched pornography in his school office. The school council launched an investigation, which included a search of   Mr Barr's computer, after the photograph appeared on the social media site Snapchat. Andrew Barr, who was Principal of Melbourne's The Geelong College, has resigned after a photo taken of him watching pornography in his office went viral on the internet after being published on Snapchat . Chairman of the Geelong College council, Dr Hugh Seward, told the Geelong Advertiser yesterday the matter was a serious breach of the school's standards, even if the investigation found Mr Barr not to have broken any law. 'The matter was taken very seriously,' Dr Seward said. 'Just before Easter, The Geelong College council became aware of a matter of concern that might constitute a breach of our standards.' 'The council immediately looked into the matter and when our concerns were confirmed, Andrew Barr tendered his resignation.' In a statement, Dr Seward thanked Mr Barr for his contribution to the school since he joined the college in 2013. ‘In the two years since his appointment, Mr Barr has made an enduring contribution to the College’s educational vision and future planning. The Council is grateful for Mr Barr’s commitment and achievement,' he said. Chairman of the Geelong College council, Dr Hugh Seward, said the matter was a serious breach of the school's standards . Mr Barr is a former chairman of the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia and previously served 10 years as principal of Scotch Oakburn College in Melbourne. Dr Seward told the Geelong Advertiser the investigation confirmed Mr Barr had not broken any law and 'at no point' did his actions affect the care provided to students. The Geelong College Council has since announced it has begun searching for a new Principal.
