Muck up day :)

[Monotonous]

So as many of you may know 'Muck Up Day' is a pre-GCSE ritual where you basically muck about ... and it is talked about for years. Was looking at my fb and some my friends had a mental one (http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/hundreds-of-pupils-sent-home-from-jewish-school-after-muckup-day-descends-into-riot-10235114.html).

So anyway I was interested in what you guys did for yours. Our one sucked tbh we were kept busy by the teachers all day because of last years one where they had smoke bombs, cling flimed everything (and I mean everything) and hid rape alarms in the library.

never heard of this actually

[lawrawrrr]

I've never heard the term muck up day but on our last day of Year 11 we were supposed to be really closely watched, the year before stole all the clocks in the school pretty much and hid them (some are still missing now, 7 years later)!

However they did let us have a bit of fun - ended up a bit overboard though. We all had lockers down the big main hallway and people decided to post it note the WHOLE thing. Floor, lockers, ceiling... Was so funny to look back on!

I was always a bit of a spoilsport though and I got annoyed because we had to stay in until half 3 because of that instead of leaving at lunch :/

Someone used to do that at our school every single year. Like really. EVERY year. It got to the point where teachers would take them down before the last day so students couldn't nick them anymore.

Never heard of this term but we always did Year 11 pranks which sounds basically the same. Everyone always comes up with really elaborate plans but end up doing the same thing each year:
toilet roll up the drive
steal the clocks
do a weird dance in the cafeteria at lunch
maybe post-it note somewhere

Never heard of this either :(. Although one year some students decided to bring in bags of flour and pretty much everyone was floured apart from me lmao.

I've never heard of this or done anything like this. My school was sooo strict.

The year before me, a group of boys pretended to hold up the school, they were dressed pretty convincingly to be honest. Guns galore. They played screams in the classrooms next door to make it more believable. It was a stressful situation though, some kids were mortified and were sent home after it happened.

My year did nothing, but it wasn't a tradition or anything. Never heard of 'muck up' day tbh.

Ah I'm surprised well that none of you have heard of it :P Remembered another one. You know how schools have a whole school as assembly well we have them like every week. We all stand up and some classical music from the organ or speakers comes on and he walks out, well this time someone managed to hook up their phone and played Bombastic when he walked out. It was funnier than how i'm telling it but yea :P

Another one was hiding porno cards in library books (some which are still there :P) and bringing in chickens labeling them 1 to 10 but there was no. 7.

Keep them coming in guys :)

Muck up day is really popular in Australia. I've seen some pretty insane ones whilst I was at high school over here. It's the Year 12s last day and they basically muck around and do crazy stuff.

They banned it whilst we were in Year 11 as the Year 12s that year took things a bit too far and put teachers cars on Gumtree (which is like ebay?) and were posting offensive things about teachers. Drawing penis' with spray paint all over walls and writing on the freeway which is next to our school was pretty common. Covering locker locks in oil and putting paint and vinegar in water guns also happened. Glitter on fans (so when you turn them on the whole room is covered in glitter) and then putting fish in the aircon units before the whole school assembly was also pretty normal at my school haha.

Shame we got threatend with suspension and then we would not be able to sit out final Year 12 exams at that school meant our 'muck up day' was pretty minimal (as we would therefore end up with a score of 0, which no Uni would accept ever). Made for a good laugh when I was in other years though!

Year 11s in our school - infact the whole school - have always had shave cream fights.

The teachers try their best to stop it every year but I hear that supplies are brought in weeks beforehand.
