Shore School muck-up day: Full list of school’s challenges revealed

More explosive details of an elite Sydney private school’s vile scavenger hunt have emerged after the full document was shared online.

Sydney students name 'worst' Sydney suburbs

The full horror of Shore School’s muck-up day challenge has been revealed after the entire manifesto was leaked on social media.

Earlier this week, it emerged that Year 12 students at the ritzy North Sydney school had devised a scavenger hunt dubbed the “Triwizard Shorenament” which included a range of illegal activities such as assaulting strangers, taking drugs and breaking into private property.

The challenges were so vile they were reported to NSW Police – and now, the full details have been exposed.

According to the document, participants planned to gather on Wednesday evening at Waverton Park in Sydney to kick off the “treacherous” series of challenges, including to “spit on a homeless man”, “sack whack a complete random walking past”, “get with an Asian chick” and “shit on a train” as well as a range of inappropriate and humiliating sexual challenges.

Students were set to split into groups of five or six and compete for points, with the winners taking home a cash prize.

Students were also sworn to secrecy and urged to cover up the events of the night, and provide evidence of completed challenges via a private Instagram account.

“If anyone gets caught by a teacher/cops they will say that they were just having fun between the 5/6 of them and won’t mention the tournament,” the document reads.

“What happens on the night stays within the night. No evidence is to be shared outside of the Year 12 2020 Shore community.

“Remember the boys’ code: We protect each other at all costs.”

The challenges were split into different levels according to difficulty, and began with relatively tame “Beta Difficulty” tasks worth between five and 10 points which included taking a naked group photo outside Luna Park, sculling a beer inside a city retailer, stealing a street sign, playing porn out loud on public transport and buying an item from a sex shop.

But there were also several disturbing orders, including to “get with an Asian chick” and “hook up with a random girl”.

Then came the “Apprentice Difficulty” level worth 20 points apiece, including directions to “snort a line”, “s*** on public toilet seat”, “get with a belowie” (a younger student), and “sack whack a complete random walking past”.

Next was the “Terrorist EH Difficulty” level worth 30 points, including a range of sexual instructions such as “get with a lesbian”, take part in a “three-way kiss”, “get with a chick which is 3/10 or lower” and “perform a sex scene on the stairs of a church, with a person ‘finishing’ loudly” as well as other alarming challenges such as “eat a live small animal” and “smoke your mates’ pubes”.

Under the 40-point “Grand Wizard Difficulty” level, students were told to “give a stranger a 40 second lap dance/strip tease”, “get a gay man’s number” and “go to a brothel” while the “Shoreman Mage Difficulty” level – worth 50 points – included: “have a threesome”, become a “Boar Hunter” via “sex with a 80kg+ woman”, “get a happy ending”, “send a b**thole pic to a girl in our year” and “push a random into the water at Balmoral wharf”.

The final “Elder Headmaster Status” challenges were worth 100 points or more and included instructions to “f*** one of your teammate’s ex’s with them there”, “f*** a chick which is 3/10 or lower”, “catch a pigeon and proceed to rip it’s head off”, “get with someone below (age) 15”, “spit on homeless man”, “shove an egg up ur a** then s*** it out while making chicken noises” and complete a “Pakistan Sacrifice” – by eating two laxatives and a spicy curry.

Headmaster Dr Timothy Petterson has since written to parents to insist it was “not who we are as a school”.

“Unfortunately, the activities encouraged in the document … are illegal, harmful and, in many cases, disrespectful towards members of the public and portray an arrogant sense of entitlement and an underlying attitude that the school finds deeply offensive,” the letter reads.

“This is not who we are as a school.

“Our investigations are ongoing into the origins of the scavenger hunt document, but the boys involved appear to be a small number, not representative of the wider year group. It is extremely disappointing to all of us that their thoughtless actions have cast a shadow, not only over the considerable achievements of their classmates, but the reputation of our school generally which strives to be a respectful, inclusive and caring environment for all.”

The letter confirmed boys who “engage in illegal behaviour or behaviour unbecoming of a Shore boy” would be subject to disciplinary action which could involve losing their place at the school which would prevent them from sitting their HSC exams and graduating.

The school is hunting the culprits.

News.com.au contacted the school, which declined to comment further.

News of the muck-up day challenge sparked outrage across the nation – but just hours later, the school was engulfed by a fresh scandal after a social media video emerged showing students mocking some of Sydney’s poorest suburbs.

The clip, which has since been deleted, was uploaded to TikTok by popular creator Fonzie Gomez and showed boys in the Shore school uniform being asked to name the “worst” suburbs in Sydney.

The western suburbs of Blacktown, Bankstown and Mount Druitt were all singled out by the students, who said those areas contained “druggos” and “lame thugs and eshays” – a popular term for young people who typically wear branded clothing and commit violent crimes.

Shore School told news.com.au on Wednesday that it would not be commenting on the video.

Meanwhile, the school was also swept up in a separate controversy just last week after students shared a viral clip of the campus’ luxury facilities on social media, including a “recovery pool”, a “harbour view library” and a “50 mill gym”.

The videos and the muck-up day challenge have ben widely condemned by high-profile and everyday Aussies alike, with NSW Greens MLC David Shoebridge branding the clip “deeply offensive”.

NSW Teachers Federation president Angelo Gavrielatos also pointed out on social media that the school received $3.3 million in Federal Government recurrent funding, $2.1 million in State Government recurrent funding and had spent $43 million on capital works from 2016-2018.

Shore School – or Sydney Church of England Grammar School, as it is also known – costs around $33,000 per year per student, or almost $200,000 from Year 7 to Year 12.

Established in 1889, the school’s alumni – or “old boys” – include a string of well-known Australians including comedian Peter Berner, The Whitlams’ Tim Freedman and actor John Wood.
