End of school pranks...

[Cpt_Oblivious]

Not yet, because I knew I'd be coming back as a sixth former. Just wait til next year though. All hell will break loose.

...did you do anything?

Just today in the school that I go to, the Year 11's had their last day (not including the upcoming exams) so 3 of them thought it would be a good idea to set off military grade smoke 'nades in the toilets.

Needless to say that fire alarms and the Fire Brigade were involved and now 2 of them are expelled and 1 suspended (which is not going to school in a bad way). But the only reason they did this is because there is a tradition of sorts called 'Muck Up day'. You can probably guess what's meant to happen.

Anyway, the point of this is did you take part in any particularly memorable end of school pranks or did you fall victim to any? Or did you plan the most epic thing ever...and never get around to it?

Prior to our very last day of school, we were explicitly told by our headmaster that there is to be no 'muck up' anything or else we will not get our senior certificate, this included even minor things like water bombs. Safe to say, no one mucked up, we didn't want to waste 12 years of schooling for one prank.

Fair enough...

Getting someone that draconian probably can't see the funny side of most things anyway

Took a while before someone mentioned this. If you live in the US or elsewhere let me explain...

Year 11 is the year in which you take your General Certificate in Secondary Education (GCSE or it used to be known as Ordinary Level or O-Level) at the age of 15/16. This is the last year in which the Man can force you to go to school.

From that point on, you are in 'further education' i.e. Sixth Form Collage where you do you Advanced Level or A-Level to get into Uni

Now some schools have a secondary part (that's year 6 to 11) AND a Sixth Form Collage (years 12 to 13)

So basically if you annihilate your school in year 11, you might have to come back for two more years anyway...

The seniors at my High School have an annual prank every year before graduation. One time they removed all the "s" keys on the school keyboards. Yes, there was a bit of trouble.
I bumped into several of them organizing something a few days ago, I think it involves some costumes.

I am in my final year of high school and we are banned from doing them at our school and threat of expulsion but they did accept ideas for alternatives.
The most popular was paintballing but I think I might be able convince them to do my idea of combining paintball and go karting into one awesome sport.

Every so often someone outs our school on Ebay, and a coulple of years back the upper sixth painted a swazstika on the front lawn. I think it was last year that the upper sixth put police tape across the door to one of the English classrooms while the teacher was inside. The year 7s were waiting out side for 20 minutes.

Actually, the police tape was part of an on-going battle between one of the English teachers and the head of classics.
The swazstika was also done in grass killer. In the end, the school just ripped the turf up.

Ah, you forget some of the greater pranks.
Putting an estate agents 'for sale' sign up on the front lawn - several people called the school and the agent requesting the info.
They did the thing with their cars (last year) and blocked the staff in. So, the porters blocked them in, with a minibus. The guys lifted it up, and moved it away. They got clamped. They cut the clamps off.

Stealing the porter's tractor keys, driving it up and down the junior-school's playing fields, parking it in the middle, and throwing the keys away.

Ahh...I can't wait for what we do next year NTD. Nerf/foam rocket barrage in assembly? Raid the classrooms with waterguns?

We are clamping Parsons's mini, there is no question about it. I even know where on of the wheel clamps are. I reckon we should get the drama guys to fake a murder behind the screen in final asembly.

Didn't they hide the keys to the porter-mobile in Parsons's form room?

And didn't Deano get the upper sixth to do the honours with regards th police tape?

We got a small trailer, put white Lino tiles in it, and made it look like a small cell. Then we put a sheet over one of our friends head, put him in there, locked the door, and played an edited Glados line saying "Hello, welcome to the enrichment center. Please leave the room"; We then unlocked the door and RAN.
It was good fun.

On the last day of my senior year, I want to get a bunch of friends to join me in dressing up and acting as if we were in a Dungeons & Dragons like world. Ask random students and teachers for quests, have battles in the halls, etc.

 

[tombman888]

on last day of school for the yr twelves, they put a MASSIVE sign out the front of the car park that said, "student drivers only" then they parked their cars all horibly wrong on purpose, like taking up three parks, parking diagonally in the middle of the road, and then they glad-wrapped one of the teachers moped with 10 layers of glad wrap. it was very amusing.

i put peanut butter on all of the door handles in the school. twas quite amusing

peanut butter? you wuss, i put a combination of vaseline and dog poo. judging from the reactions, i think the vaseline was worse lol

well i didnt really feel like picking up some shit; although, peanut butter looks like shit so it was psychological.

 

[hannan4mitch]

Ehh...
I've had ideas, but if I did anything my dad would kill me.
Such ideas include...
putting gummybears or packing peanuts on fan blades
replacing the "bell" in school with "Bob Saget!"
wiring up the the toilets so when someone flushes one, a string of firecrackers goes off
ect...

you could expand on that by having some people wear hats with massive yellow exclamation marks...

We flooded part of the school... That was fun. And tied all the doors shut and piled all the bicycle stands in front of the main entrance. But that happens every year, so wasn't interesting.

Bad parking is actually pretty common at my school so no one would really notice the difference but we also share our car park with a kiddy gymnastics place with all the parents with huge cars who park worse than us. It's not even that big as a car park.

OT: from all of my experience at school I've never seen or been affected by some 'end of school prank' though normal pranks yeah, glue in the lock kinda thing and kids trying to block up staircases during a lesson change.
I have nothing planned as I'm staying on for another year and I really can't be bothered.

Hah, I just stole a bunch of stuff. I am currently wearing a "Poetry Contest First Place Winner!" t-shirt with our school mascot that I nicked from a locked cupboard in the library. I actually had to do some Mission Impossible shit to get it, as I had to watch out for the librarians and teachers walking to and fro, students moving about, keep track of the moving cameras in the room, and lock pick the thing to get it out and stuff it away in my bag. Took me the whole freaking period to do it properly. That thing had been taunting me all year.

I had to have it.

I also snuck around, uninstalled a couple of exit signs and ran off with them. Umm. Some little nick-knacks, like stupid decorations. Mostly it was all just petty, childish revenge for making my high school years miserable, but hey, it made me feel better and I doubt they're missing anything too terribly.

I hung the flag upside down , then I sharked a few of the girlies in front of their holy-shit-that-guy-takes-steroids boyfriends, then I pranced around in a V mask with a sign that said 'Re-Elect Obama '12!'. All while playing this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt7gIkAMCHk

Needless to say, I was arrested. Oh well.
