Inside the brutal hazing tactics enforced at ruthless all-boys school where kids are ‘binned’, intimidated and at least one teacher has given up on helping the bullied kids

  • Former Waverley College students lifted the lid on the school
  • They all saw or experienced intimidation tactics enforced on kids 
  • One graduate claimed a teacher did little to nothing to stop it
  • Six Year Nines were expelled in October after alleged incidents

Former students from an embattled all-boys private school have lifted the lid on what it’s like inside the exclusive college revealing they suffered years of physical and mental intimidation from older students.  

Three graduates of Waverley College, an all-boys Catholic school in Sydney‘s east, spoke to Daily Mail Australia on the condition of anonymity, claiming they endured years of torture and bullying from students in higher years and lived under a brutal hierarchy during their six years of school.

The students’ decision to speak out comes weeks after six Year Nine students from the college were expelled in October over allegations they physically hazed 16 Year Seven students.

One former student told Daily Mail Australia you could expect intimidation from the first day of school if you tried to disrupt the well-established order.  

‘I remember my first day of year seven, I was told “don’t talk to anyone from older years unless you’ve been spoken to”,’ he said.

‘Another year seven kid in my home room didn’t know this, and immediately tried to talk up to the older years. 

‘The older kids binned [force someone into a bin] him and he was forced to apologise to them. 

‘Our home room teacher just said “stop it” before giving up on the situation.’

The Waverley College graduate claimed the older students were not seeking to inflict pain, but simply to ‘put students back in their place’.

‘I deserved it,’ a second former student told Daily Mail Australia.

‘I would annoy the f*** out of them (Year 12s),’ he said, recounting his experience in Year Seven.’

‘I just got bashed, not forced to lick shoes and bark. That’s f**ked.’

The former student was referring to the October expulsions where Year Nine students were accused of forcing Year Sevens into a locked room across three days and allegedly making them crawl around on all fours, bark like a dog, and lick the older students’ shoes. 

A third graduate came forward to Daily Mail Australia, saying that he didn’t get the same treatment in Year Seven because the Year 12s in his home room were more ‘lenient’.

However some of his classmates were not as lucky, claiming they had been intimidated because the Year 12s in their homeroom were ‘f***ing crazy’. 

‘I feel like it definitely stopped when we got to Year 12,’ he said. 

‘I have heard the students do more dumb s*** as the years went on, but it did seem that hierarchy and bullying had lessened.’

Waverley College Principal Graham Leddie responded to the allegations after the students were expelled in October. 

Parents of five of the six expelled students announced in December they would fight Mr Leddie’s ruling and assigned lawyer and former Waverley College student Paul Kenny to fight the expulsions.

‘The parents believe their sons futures and reputation have been tarnished on the say so of teenage boys without any substantive proof at all,’ Mr Kenny said.

Waverley College said it was unable to comment on the bullying allegations due to parents indicating they would be ‘making this a legal matter’.
