Two male students at a private school in Melbourne have recently been expelled for their offensive actions. The two Year 11 students from Yarra Valley Grammar School in Ringwood had created a spreadsheet on the messaging app Discord, ranking their female classmates based on their appearance. This spreadsheet included photographs of the girls and they were labeled with derogatory terms such as "wifeys", "cuties", "mid", "object", "get out", and "unrapable".
The principal of Yarra Valley Grammar, Dr. Mark Merry, released a statement today announcing the expulsion of the two students. He also mentioned that there may be further disciplinary action taken against others who were involved in the incident. Dr. Merry expressed his sadness at the hurt caused by this online post and acknowledged the power of social media in amplifying the impact of harmful actions.
In a press conference, Dr. Merry stated that he believes the students involved have shown remorse for their behavior. He hopes that this will be a learning moment for them and that they can move on and succeed in their studies. He also acknowledged that social media has contributed to harmful behavior among students and that the school will be offering psychological support to those affected.
Despite the harm caused by this incident, Dr. Merry mentioned that there has been a show of support and outrage from the students in the same year level. He hopes that this will be the beginning of the healing process and that the students involved will receive the support and understanding they need to move forward.
The school has also contacted Victoria Police to investigate any potential criminality involved. However, Dr. Merry stated that at this stage, the parents of the school have not considered legal action. In a separate note, the school has also set up a WhatsApp channel for students and parents to stay updated on the latest news, without any comments or algorithms. This channel aims to provide a safe space for everyone to receive information without compromising their privacy.
