Oi M8s, There’s A Petition So A VIC High School Can Get Muck-Up Day Back

Bronwyn Bishop received a rampant roasting at the tail-end of last year, but it was the students at Geelong’s Christian College who delivered the harshest burn. On muck-up day, a group of enterprising young things chartered a chopper to land on their oval in a middle-finger salute to the former speaker’s ill-fated expense scandal.

It was probably one of the most ballin’ political pisstakes we’d ever come across, and you’d think the school would be honoured to call those consummate pranksters alumni. CCG has a different take, though. To avoid any more OTT stunts, the school has binned their usual end-of-year do for a more subdued combo of breaky and a traditional, uh, clock tower signing.

In a statement obtained by Fairfax, principal Glen McKeeman said students would receive a “dignified and respectful celebration to their educational journey”, but that ain’t gonna cut it. Guess bloody what? Students ain’t happy. Change.org petition not happy.

The petition, sparked up by a former student, calls for the school’s administrators to rethink their zero-tolerance policy on avionic pranks.

While that really explains all you need to know about this horrifically un-Australian turn of events, a continually-growing stream of commenters have railed against this injustice:

Is the hiring of a chopper a lil’ OTT? Perhaps. Is it worth nuking a time-tested tradition? Well, if you think not, you might feel the urge to sign the petition riiight here.
