It comes as traditional student rivalries were played out, with outlandish pranks between pupils from Trinity Grammar, Carey Grammar and Ruyton Girls’ School.
The Herald Sun revealed on Wednesday students from Firbank Grammar vandalised five cars at Brighton Grammar belonging to students, with a report believed to be made to police. Footage obtained by the Herald Sun showed a student’s ute covered in offensive scrawls and plastic wrap.
At Mount Ridley College students dressed up, covered the school with toilet paper, graffitied buildings and threw flour bombs.
At Beaumaris Secondary College students dressed up as pregnant smoking mothers, blood-spattered crime scene workers and escaped prisoners.

MLC girls – who call themselves “men’s last chance” wore uniforms from boys schools.
At Melbourne High School, along with a number of schools, students were encouraged to “bring anything other than a backpack”.
One student brought his sisters while others at other schools brought walkers, prams and air conditioners.
