Xavier suspends Year 12 after wild 'muck-up day'

Students from exclusive Melbourne private school Xavier College were "blind drunk" and terrorising the school's Kew neighbours as "muck-up day" today led to the suspension of Year 12 and a student taken to hospital.
With only days left in the school year and weeks until final exams, Xavier sent home up to 250 students. A brief statement by the school this afternoon said "a large number of Year 12 students exhibited unacceptable behaviour".

The mass suspension came on "muck-up" day, students who called The Age said, as seniors' celebrated their final school days before breaking to prepare for exams next month.
A Kew resident told The Age he called the school this afternoon because Xavier students were "blind drunk" in ths street, drinking from wine casks and "urinating all over the neighbours' houses".
"Their behaviour was disgraceful," said the man, who declined to be named. "They were blind drunk and some of them could barely stand. My kids have been through muck-up day but I've never seen anything like that."
A Year 10 student told The Age staff cracked down after the Year 12 block was covered in flour and a student was injured in a game called "death ball".
"Basically, they were all on the oval and they started playing this game and they were fairly rampaging on each other and one student had his arm stomped on," said the caller.
Another called said students also let off fireworks.
The statement by Xavier director of development Graham Sharp said senior year classes were cancelled until Wednesday - effectively the remainder of the school year - "so that all Year 12 students could address their studies at home without distraction".
"The decision was taken in the best interests of students at all levels," he said.
Mr Sharp said the suspended students would have access to their teachers via email and the chance to meet teachers as they prepared for final exams next month.
The Metropolitan Ambulance Service confirmed paramedics were called to the school today and took a student to Epworth Hospital but a spokesperson could not identify the student's injury. A spokesperson for the hospital did not immediately return The Age's calls.
It was unclear what led to the mass suspension but a caller to The Age who did not wish to be named said students let off fireworks on the school grounds and a student suffered a dislocated knee.
Channel NIne News reported that the suspensions arose out of a lunchtime incident that resulted in a student taken to hospital with a dislocated shoulder.

This Friday is our last assembly, there is a large group of us who are going to buy 2 mice each and release them onto the floor, should be pretty funny.

You're pretty much sending/have sent those pet mice to their deaths. Get some rubber snakes or something, not live animals.

It is possible to muck up and not be a complete d*ckhead you know.

 

[Bourky23]

Sacrifices have to be made

(c'mon lets be honest, there are more than enough rodents in this world)

what a way to go! trying to avoid being squashed by hundreds of giants!

someone should strap a camera onto one of them, would make an epic movie!

My high school had a pretty good attitude about muck up day. They always assumed the students would do something, so instead of banning it altogether they tried to make steps to minimise any damage.

The principal sat with the whole year level down and there was an open forum to establish what could and couldnt be done. A bit of bargaining.

We all got together in groups and dressed up as a theme and they put each group's choice of music over the PA, and the rest of the school watched as the yr 12s came in on their float and duly wet everybody with water bombs and water pistols (not sure how this would go down now with water restrictions). This is an all girls school so the good looking male teachers were always the target.

But the school hired security guards (non-uniformed, and generally just standing around like a normal audience) to ensure that the local all boys school wouldnt be waiting around the corner with eggs and flour. The security guards were brought in after a girl got hit with an egg on the eye and had to be rushed to hospital.

This was a few yrs ago now so i dont know if the school still lets students do this, but it was a lot of fun especially compared to some of my friends who went to other schools and werent allowed to do anything.

No muck up day at the "reform school' i went to - Muck up day is for AMATEURS

 

[Punter]

Haven't done anythin at ours for years.

I think its cos people actually like the school.

St Bedes.

I finished there 6-7 years ago now and we didn't really get up to much. Everyone in our year thought we were finishing up on the Thursday, but on the Wednesday we were called into the final assemble and told "Go home, don't be here tomorrow for any reason , and only be here on Friday if you HAVE to see a teacher and have arranged it before hand. If you get caught at the school tonight or over the next two days, you won't be allowed sit your exams here."

So everyone just went to the edgy that night and got drunk instead. There were a fair few security guards hanging around the school that night.

I remember a year or two before us, someone superglued all the doors shut. The best one I saw there was when they dressed up a dummy in the school uniform and hung it from the cross at the front of the school, that was funny as.

 

[beez]

Surely there must be a Yr 12 Xavier boy on these boards, I wanna hear some stories.

 

[bigdroppunt]

That was ****ing funny as. I liked it how everyone that was on the front oval ran accorss to where she got pulled over to. And when everyone saw the cop car they all cheered. Was funny. They'd been going round for most of lunch and got a few people the first couple of times.

 

[Essendonfc_4_lyfe]

Warning: Dont walk down Burke Rd or Glenferrie Rd come muck up day. You'll have a 99% chance of getting hit by something

Ohh the only names that ring a bell there are Macca who was in charge La Salle when I left('01, had to look that up ) and Crackers... its been a while tho.

Ahah, when I was in year 8 odd a whole heap of Mentone Girls came into St Bedes from granville st for muck up day throwing water/flower bombs, As soon as they started a couple of mates went to the bin, picking up half-eaten pies, sausage rolls and stared chucking them at em. They starting running after that.

Yeah Macca left for De La Salle last year, copped so much shit for being a traitor lol.

Jonesy was the fat guy with no hair. Surely that will ring a bell. Wait, he's got a bit of hair, my mistake.

HOPEFULLY, I'll have some funneh stories come...Thursday morning hahha. But really doubt it.

hey im no college ***.... i went to Grammar... but this was at another school.....

 

[scanners]

muck up day was cancelled out our school...because of previous years and they got security to patrol out night and stuf..because of wat a few of us yr 12 guys did during the year..when we super glued all the year 11 lockers and a few class rooms and the year 11s couldnt opent their locks for like a week..then we got busted 2 weeks later..which stil remains a mystery on how we got busted coz only 6 of us knew that it was..and we had to pay for damages which was 300 each...so that kinda put us of muck up day coz no 1 wanted to be busted and pay for crap

Muck up day was pretty tame last year for us. Teachers made pre-emptive strikes and basically were on patrol from 5am onward, made life pretty difficult.
Giving security the run around the night before was virtually the highlight.

Although, one funny story did come out of it.

These blokes decided to move every lockey bay (3X4 locker thingo's on wheels) around the school and mix them up. (not the good part if your wondering).
Got about 30 secs in before being caught which then meant,
A couple of weinbag goody two-show types volunteered to put them back for the staff.......which resulted in them accidently tipping it and then landing it ontop off the 65 yr old receptionist. 2 broken legs and an ambulance visit made the whole day fairly hilarious.

 

[Chops_a_must]

Me and my best mate were the only ones that did anything. Everyone else was too scared.

He had a locker full of sandwiches, and I had a locker full of dairy.

Put a 2 litre bottle of milk and a block of cheese, mixed with lemon juice, in front of a heater for a couple of days, before leaving it to brew in the locker for a few weeks.

We both stored half empty iced coffees in there for a few weeks as well.

On muck up day, we both poured and opened the remaining solidified contents out in the locker. Was instant gag material really. Was horrific.

After our mocks, we had a year assembly where the year co-ordinator was staring at us, saying whoever left a rat in the locker to remove it.

We later found out the carpet in that room had to be replaced, and the rather large block had to be completely fumigated.

This was about 13 years ago...Our Year 12 committee squandered our hard earned and paid for a professional sign to be erected displaying the land for sale with a legit real estate agent. Laughed for about 10 seconds and I doubt the school was flooded with calls either. Rags Day had been canceled two years prior after a parent complained their kid had been egged. Even the annual tradition of going class to class and throwing lollies to the kids was banned.

The night before the last day of classes, a massive house party was held and basically everyone turned up blind (some still drinking) so everyone was given a leave of absence and asked to return in better shape in a few days for the 'luncheon' and review. That advice fell on deaf ears and some the acts will go down in school folklore. Those were the days.

 

[TigerGlory]

Two kids in their car tried to egg me, but they missed.

And these two chicks from Kilbreda tried to waterballoon me the other day, and failed miserably.

Last year, again involving Kilbreda who tried to egg me and my mates, and missed yet again, we replied by throwing KFC Potato and Gravy, man that thing makes a mess.

 

[carntheroos4eva]

Somebody in my street put a stink bomb in my letter box.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Lol one of my mates got egged, so he threw a rock at the guys car and broke his tail light.

Nearly got egged by some mates (well at least I think they're mates. ) Missed by about 10 metres though, so I dont think they were trying to hit me.

Went to catch the bus to a mates, bus went straight past, with my mate squashed up against the door...again, hilarious.

Nothin really happened, some stink bombs, some pig kidneys and livers were thrown around...somone put fish in the toilets haha. But nothin too serious.

Edgy was good...until I got 'kicked out' Not sure how Im gonna get back into exam mode...
