    few of us bought water pistols and balloons. principal came along corridor to see what the commotion was. water pistols hastily stuffed down jocks. one leaky pistol and principal thought mate had pissed himself so he didnt know what to say and left.

    he didnt know we had put a balloon on his car seat.

    a few years before me the guys put all the teachers cars in the buy&sell and gave the number as the schools number!

    another year, some guys came to the school at night nd built a wall across the entrance of the school!...and got in **** for it!

    One of the fellas in my old school bought locusts in a pet shop and broke into another chaps locker and placed a few in there... Needless to say we got a great reaction from the locker owner :D

    Brothers school in Marion Collage in the 70ies they locked themselves into a class room, tapped into the school intercom and played WW2 German march music.

    A group of people from my class got to the school early and taped a wall of balloons in front of the principal and deputy principal office doors. They tore it down soon after...they weren't impressed at all :p

    The best prank of them all is a successful Leaving Cert.

    :eek: That's what they want you to think!

    Myself and a friend came up with the idea last year of chaining the school gates closed after lunch so that the teachers cars were all locked in the yard. However, being of such fine moral fibre, we decided not to carry out the prank. :) One week later 2 of the "less respected" lads (eg wanna-be-skobes) were caught with chains and padlocks by the principal herself, and were subsequently suspended for a week. :D

    We threatened to pebbledash the woodwork teachers car. Using the technique taught by him against him. Didn't do it, though we had him worried.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    The mixed ability class burst all the pipes on the upper floor. Water everywhere. Of course they got suspended for their last week in school and banned from the graduation party but I am sure it was worth it!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,654 ✭✭✭kev_s88


    few lads in the year beofore us strategically put fish in the air vents around the school.no one could find them for about a week

    nasty smell alright

    the most intelligent prank i have heard of is that a group of lads from blackrock let four sheep loose on the school grounds, each of which was numbered 1,2,3 and 5. supposedly the groundsman had a problematic time trying to find the fourth sheep!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,017 ✭✭✭Bendihorse


    The lads in the CBS in Rosco did the sheep thing too except they let in 3 lambs into the girls school! (the lambs were old enough to be weaned) and even put in water and hay for them incase they got hungry :D I also heard of a similar prank with chickens...

    The same year they also blocked up the front door of the girls school, put a padlock and chain around the gate at 4pm and locked all the teachers cars into the carpark and came back later that night and took the 4 wheels off the school mini bus, left it up on blocks and left a treasure hunt trail around the town, each wheel had a clue leading to the next taped to it :)

    I hope you have all your studies up to date when your worrying about pranks at this time of year!!

    It was always 'egg day' on the sixth years last friday. My year decided to have egg week, the school ended up letting the whole year finish on the tuesday instead of the friday. Thank god for mixed schools us girls didn't have to do anything to get off early. :cool:

    that's genius, i'm surprised they were able to get sheep though in the city probably used daddy's credit card and daddy's X5 to bring them to school too.

    Brother was an expert at Chemestry in Marion Collage and made up a full C&C bottle hydrogen Sulphate (Stink bomb lotion) and let it off during an inter school rugby match, they had to evacuate one of the stands.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,064 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Never got to do anything ourselves, as our principal has the genius idea of letting all the 6th years go by up to 2 weeks early before everyone else, so we never got a chance to do anything.

    However, a class a few years ahead of us got one of our teachers cars (a corsa), lifted it and placed it strategically between two pillars so she couldn't move, so she had to find some strong men to help her take it out again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,467 ✭✭✭Wazdakka


    We went a bit mad in 6th year..
    There was a wall built across the gates to the school,
    Not just a flimsy barricade mind you, but a four foot high, by eight foot long concrete and cinder block wall.
    Out the back of the school there was a tower kind of thing, about 100Ft high.
    Alot of desks, chairs, and the odd bin were hung down from the side in kind of a mobile type arrangement.
    With the wondrous invention that is no more nails an entire classroom was turned upside down. Everything was glued to the roof.
    There was a couple of other things but they were just mindless non humerous vandalism.

    It seems pretty bad looking back on it, but that was a relatively tame year..
    Christian Brother Discipline eh :o

    EDIT:

    lol, thats kinda tradition in our school every year, the principals car , one year, they f*cked the bonnet a bit i think!!1

    We only got as far as stink bombs and lying all the lockers down on the ground before we were given out to like mad. The worst that happened was that we weren't allowed leave school grounds at lunchtime.

    Apparently the principal had been in a school where a 6th year prank had resulted in the death of or near death of a younger student. I think it was the locking the front gates prank and the student got knocked down because he couldn't get in.

    The year ahead of us put fish in the ceiling and the smell was still there when we came back after the holidays.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,847 ✭✭✭bleg


    the panels in our ceiling could be pushed up. dead fish put up there, fairly stank the place up

    Is the sheep idea not one of those urban myths? I know so many people from around the country who have heard of people doing that in their area.

    Found a teachers car(smallest) and picked it up and moved it down the road a bit

    also spiked the soup with somethin:P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,556 ✭✭✭Slunk


    A few of us stayed back one day and took all the surrounds off the door locks. They where the round metal ones like this . Took them off nearly every door and superglued them back on sideways so the key couldnt enter the lock to open the door. Caretaker wasnt too impressed with us. :D
