Regional school embroiled in 'vile' Snapchat scandal

A regional Catholic high school has been embroiled in a Snapchat scandal after social media posts emerged from Year 12 males on the attractiveness of their female peers.

It is the second school in one week to be engulfed by similar behaviour.

One parent told ACM that their daughter was left "pretty devastated" after the comments by her peers at Catholic College Wodonga in regional Victoria.

The parent said the behaviour was being "swept under the carpet" and described it as "vile".

ACM understands none of the boys involved received individual punishment and the female students named were not offered counselling.

Catholic College Wodonga principal Lorraine Willis said the school had become aware of "potential comments made by students on social media about the appearance of peers".

"The College immediately investigated," she said.

"It was found that comments had been made within a private Snapchat group and that those comments had related to the physical appearance of other students.... The College enacted the relevant policies and procedures."

Ms Willis said the College reiterated the "expectations of respectful relationships to Year 12 male students".

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan described the situation as "very distressing".

"Every young girl, every young woman deserves the right to go to school, sit in the classroom, to be in the school grounds," she said.

It comes after two students from Yarra Valley Grammar in Melbourne were expelled after creating a spreadsheet assessing their female classmates' attractiveness.

The list by the boys at the elite private school in Ringwood in Melbourne on the platform Discord featured photos of the female students and ranked them from best to worst using a number of highly derogatory terms including 'wifeys', 'cuties', 'mid', 'object', 'get out' and 'unrapeable'.
