    Can I insult your grammar too? Lighten up.

    Couple of years ago a guy in 6th year let loose a hamster in the school library. The librarian freaked =D

    there's a similar thread around here somewhere.
    Just don't make it malicious or damaging, at a mimimum. There's always some story of an eegit who takes it too far, gets expelled and can't sit their exams in their school, have to go off somewhere else to do it amongst strangers.

    have fun by all means, just don't be idiots.

    in my old school a bunch of 6th years took all the chalk erasers and hid them, filled some water feature with food coloring and soup. They then moved all the bike racks (some with bikes still on them) onto the roof of a single story pre-fabs
    it was hilarous! they made a map and clues for the school to find the erasers. How do ya pull these pranks off without getting caught? i'm currently 6th year and i want to cause some 'inconvenience' in my school :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 432 ✭✭Yuugib


    lolz it all sounds fun :)
    we had an idea of getting a very quite person that teachers dont really notices, to come in the normal cloths, go into the staff room and make some tea , lolz it ll be interesting to see how long can she last in there :D We currently have a lot of new student teachers in school, so thats why this idea might just work out :D

    Also we were planing to rollerblade/skate around the school :D Its all fun.. but kilts are quite a big disadvantage:(

    Ps. i totally agree with the person who said not to over do it.. two years ago some stupid student put the jam on the handels of teachers cars.. so since then the "mock up" day have been baned in our school :( .. aw.. we still hoping to some fun.. but its
    just not the same :(

    I'm in 4th year now so not really planning but here's a sample of what pranks have been pulled by sixth years in my school since I've been there.

    1st year (I think):
    My Eng teacher was their year head and we were in class just before 10 min break. A sixth year walks passed the window distracts the teacher and makes her open the window in her class to tell him off.
    During 10 min break numerous sixth years let off about 5 or 6 smoke bombs in the assembly hall. Distraction created.
    Some other sixth years run outside and throw 2/3 smoke bombs through the aforementioned year head's window. Distraction 2 created.
    Other 6th years wait outside exit with eggs and throw them at students exiting due to the fire alarm. Many junior students have eggs splattered all over their uniforms. Enough until lunch.
    6th years then steal a set of school keys, ring up a local radio station and threaten to lock evryone in the school. Teachers got wind of this and it never really transpired.
    It was a classic pranking day.

    2nd Year:
    School teams' chaning room is painted fluorescent pink. Pretty dull.

    3rd year (Last year I think):
    Raw fish are placed in all the school vents. Horrendous smell for a few days.

    Other pranks before I enroled:
    Stealing all clocks.
    Stealing all chalk dusters.

    Anyway, I'm sure can one can deduce the rich tradition and high level of tactics involved in my school's annual prank. Sometimes they even make you smile;)

    Our 6th years always have a day where they do loads of pranks, alst year was one of the best
    they water bombed all the first years (well everyone does this every year lol!)

    they put pink paint in all the soap dispensers- still hasn't quite come out!

    They hid little alarm clocks up in the roof in the classrooms of their tutors and year head that kept going off throughout the day- It was really funny because in our Irish class we couldn't find the alarm in the roof and spent the class poking at the roof with a brush!

    The best ever was a few years ago they put he school up for sale!! Someone had a connection in an estate agents and they out an add in one of the property papers and they got a big sign made and out it up on the main road outside the school- I can't remember the exactly what it said but it was like "Old 1970's fittings included, staff optional, half-fitted with PVs windows (half of our school had PVC windwos for 2 years! and the other half had old rotten wooden ones) and they out the schools phone number on it under "more info"
    All that morning the office kept getting calls abotut he school being up for sale.... It was very funny

    The classic April Fool's day prank is to switch classrooms with another year, but it doesn't work, the teachers just swap rooms and teach in whatever room their class went to. So I had one this year which would eliminate that problem and cause complete, total, school wide chaos.

    After lunch, everyone just goes to a random room. And I mean everyone in the school. So every room would have one or two people from every year (a few first years, few second years, etc all the way up).

    The amount of unbelievable confusion that would cause is extreme. Not only would the teachers get completely messed up, there would undoubtedly be eventual confusion among the students as to which room they were actually supposed to be in.

    A logistical nightmare, but would go down in legend if someone pulled it off...

    The 6th years in our school


    -put a dead rat in our lunchroom
    -put up the numbers of girls in my year on dating sites
    -put a girl in my year in a wheelbarrow and covered her in catfood
    -put embarrassing pictures of girls in my year all over the school with "hilarious" captions

    They get away with it too cos "they're under exam stress and may seem a bit giddy"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11 Hillview Hawk


    Usually some lads buy stink bombs and fart spray and cause mayhem around the school.
    Sneaking into the teachers carpark and leaving all the air outta thier tyres is something we're planning to do in our school.
    the good old fashioned egging teachers cars will probably happen aswell

    And what about teachers who have to pick small children up after work? Is it so funny then?
    There are pranks and then there is being stupid.


  • Registered Users Posts: 784 ✭✭✭Peleus


    I heard that this prank was done in my school, tho it may have been rumour. They let three pigs loose in our school, and numbered them 1,2 and 4.

    So when the school ppl tracked them down, they spent the rest of the day looking for the nonexistent number 3.

    sounds like the ring-leaders in the mischief making are not quite brave enough to carry out the pranks themselves and want to use a guinea-pig. It's also a bit short sighted to think that teachers don't recognise the staff they work with or wouldn't recognize a student entering the staffroom. Actually it's really stupid.

    I don't understand how humiliating some poor girl by covering her in catfood is seen as funny. It's more like bullying. Or any of the other 'pranks' listed for that matter.

    Yes, I would say most sixth year pranks are immature. So what? After sixth year most of us go out into the 'real world' or into the workforce, maybe sixth year pranks is our last opportunity to be the immature schoolboys/girls. Get over it! Now get out of my topic and go read the Sunday Business Post.

    Yes, in fact that makes it even funnier :D We live in a high tech society, Im sure a teacher could use one of those portable pocket phones to arrange someone else to pick up kids/ inform the cresh they will be late. Its not the end of the world for crying out loud!



    Obvousily, some people can go overboard (ie indangering someones life/GBH/serious damage to property etc) but otherwise I genuinly dont see any problem with a little bit of fun towards the end of the year. 99% of the teachers in my school take it in good heart.

    I have to disagree on the picking up kids thing. It's not funny and it is certainly a nasty thing to do. Creches (rightly) do not let just anyone pick up kids and it is not always as simple as a phone call where a short period of time is involved.

    A witty prank can be amusing in hindsight even for those bearing the brunt of it, it's just in the particular case of disabling people's cars, I don't see how it could be considered funny. The possible serious consequences far outweigh the amusement value.

    When is a prank ever mature????

    In general the sound teachers don't get pranked and the ones that have messed up our leaving cert get the worst of it! I think its fairly fair.

    I hate people who think their too mature for pranks........It's your last ever chance to be immature so make the most of it!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,158 ✭✭✭donmeister


    near the end of skool,erm may 20th about? where all planning(the 6yrs) to buy a chicken each and bring them in,and let them run riot in the halls!its goin be unreal......also......how much is a chicken to buy?

    Don't be surprised if you see a 6th year from my school tied to a tree in your school, just giving a heads up :p


    btw, I'll be having nothing to do with this!
