Leaving Cert Pranks!!!
Comments

Unfortunatly this prank afaik was about a year or 2 before i went into 1st year.
Basically all of the 6th years got the keys to the gym , and they ran down and locked themselves in the gym and basically went crazy for a couple of hours with various equipment! Eventually one of the teachers had to climb through a window and that was the end of that!

Those guys set a standard we never had a hope of matching! As well as locking up the members of staff, they also locked themselves in the sports hall for a bit of a party (or so the legend goes, according to one highly regarded past pupil!)
As far as I know, that was why they moved into the current staffroom (ie the one with 2 doors so that there's no chance of being locked in). As you said, everyone has mobile phones now, and I think the teachers use a combination lock instead of keys.
Myself and a few of the lads helped ourselves to cups of tea (in said staffroom) during a Leaving Cert revision session last year. The head herself walked in to find us throwing around a tennis ball. lol.
d'oh, we went to the same school 0 -

I believe it was a shower window so he got slightly moist in the process:D:D
I'd imagine herself said nothing about the tennis ball incident, myself and one of the lads sat down with a cuppa tea on one of those holiday study thingys....and the vice p came in and had a chat with us:D0 -

You also missed the riot with the Frenchexchange students that happened when I was in first year...they only did German exchange after that cos it was on a smaller scale:pac:
A teacher trying to keep a basement door closed went flying against a wall when the door came off it's hinges in the shoving!!0 -

I was but a young first year at the time but here's what happened.
The sixth years locked the staff room doors with U-locks. the also locked some of the internal doors with u-locks. The teachers were all in having 11 o'clock break. The caretaker (Eddie) was outside and here's where it starts to fall apart. A language teacher (Billy) pointed out to eddie that he didn't need to cut the locks, merely remove the handles from the door (shouting through the lcoked door, it had glass panels on it).
Meanwhile, a student outside is keying an English teachers new merc (Dicey's)
Teachers start getting out so sixth years retreat the gym where they lock themselves in. A handful of very impressionable young first years, including me, are let in the side door (near the monastery). Inside was class, lads going around burning ties, breaking into the coke machine, jumping off the balcony onto crash mats.
A teacher who was an intercounty player for Tipperary gets in a dressing room window and literally everyone panics. This guy is sound, but a tough bastard, everyone looks for a way out but alas we are surrounded.
I spent the rest of the day cleaning rubbish of the pitch for merely being in there, some of the ringleaders had to sit their exams in Nessans. don't think Dicey pressed charges but not sure, his car was ****ed.
Seems pretty tame by today's standards, but it was 1995, the world was different back then.0 -

Last year I think the leaving certs put superglue on the door handle of their classroom when a said teacher with a certain teacher ('dessy') was due to come in. Of course, his hand got stuck to the door handle0 -

That was a 5th year who had an "issue" with said teacher. I was in 6th year at the time.0 -

I was TY when that happened, the worst part was the teacher in question was allergic to glue. Not only was he nearly stuck to the door, he had a bad reaction to it and had to visit the hospital. Not too many people found it funny after that, from what I can remember.0 -

Any of ye around for the time of punky or Benny? They left when I went into 2nd year but some of the stuff they came out with was priceless!!
I take it you're referring to Brother Benny? He had retired before I started First Year, but on occasion was known to supervise classes when teachers were out. In one memorable incident a lad in my class challenged him to a sumo-wrestling match. He had even dragged his funny old self off his chair before realising it wouldn't be a good idea to fight a 12 year old!!! 0 -

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!

That happend to us as well in our school we were supposed to finish up on the Friday but the principal came into our class on the Tuesday or the Wednesday and said we were finishing up that day.Amazotheamazing wrote: »I was but a young first year at the time but here's what happened.
