The Scots College: Students filmed being urged to drink beers at Sydney park
A second video has emerged of students of the prestigious private school in a Sydney park, which appears to show some forcing others to drink while standing over them.
A second video has emerged of Scots College students in which they are forced to drink, urged on by older members of the group while gathered at the Woollahra golf course.
A voice yelling “F..... Drink..’’ can be heard while a teenager is held by this T-shirt and forced to skoll a bottle of beer.
Several scenes show other teenagers also being stood over while being urged to down bottles of beer in one gulp.
The Telegraph has learnt the gathering is called the Bob Awards, which stands for Boys On Beers and is held on Australia Day and the last weekend towards the end of the school year.
Some of those look as young as thirteen who are reluctant to drink until being encouraged by others.
It comes after The Daily Telegraph exclusively revealed an incident involving students from the college was under investigation by police.
A teenager was allegedly forced to walk down a human tunnel, as he was physically and verbally abused, and had beer thrown all over him.
Video of the incident obtained by The Daily Telegraph shows the large crowd of teenage boys gathered on Saturday afternoon in the bushes near Woollahra Golf Club, which the boy told police he attended under the impression he would be part of a party.
Detectives from Eastern Suburbs command visited the elite Bellevue Hill college this morning where they informed the school of the incident and the alleged involvement of students from that school.
The footage – posted in a private Snapchat group containing students from the top private school – shows the boy then being forced to carry a flag aloft as he walks through a group of youths with their hands in the air.
The Scots College at Bellevue Hill is considered one of the country’s most exclusive schools, with fees for Year 12 students reaching more than $46,000 a year. The teenager told police he was invited to join a Snapchat group two weeks ago and, at first, there was little communication between the members.
The boy’s mother told The Daily Telegraph her son was still coming to terms with the incident.
“My son is doing well,” she said on Monday.
“He just doesn’t want this to happen to anyone else.”
She said she had sent footage of the incident to multiple staff at the school, and staff had spoken to her to make it clear that it was “not a school-sanctioned event”.
She said the head of the senior school said they would be working with the police.
The Scots College has been contacted in relation to the videos.
In a statement to 2GB, Scots College Principal Dr Ian Lambert said he was “disappointed and disgusted” but it was inappropriate to comment further given the incident was the subject of a police investigation.
