"The school's campus at Sandy Bay in southern Hobart was once the site of the Queenborough Cemetery.
The cemetery operated between 1873 and 1934, with thousands of burials having taken place over its six decades.
In 1961, the site was sold to Hutchins and soon after it was said that a mass exhumation of 1,900 graves took place to make way for the schools' construction.
The disturbed remains and many of the monuments were reinterred at the Cornelian Bay Cemetery, but Dr McEwan has said other graves had remained.
""It has now become clear very few of the previous exhumations had occurred on the site of the current building works," he wrote.
