Elite Melbourne school apologises for students' 'misogynistic' chant filmed on train
An elite Melbourne high school has apologised over a “disgusting” chant performed by students on public transport.
Students from St Kevin's College in Toorak were filmed chanting on a tram on Saturday in footage obtained by the ABC.
It was filmed by a woman travelling on the tram and shows the boys in uniform chanting: “I wish that all the ladies, were holes in the road”.
“And if I was a dump truck, I'd fill them with my load.”
The woman told the ABC the chant was “disgusting”.
In a statement to 3AW, headmaster Stephen F. Russell apologised for the student’s actions.
“Students upset by the behaviour have already come to me and we have been following through in both a disciplinary and pastoral manner today,” he said.
“We have always and will continue to challenge such poor behaviour and misogynistic attitudes through programs at school and with the co-operation of parents.”
