Melbourne private school students expelled over ‘cruel’ spreadsheet rating female classmates

Yarra Valley grammar principal says position of two students was untenable and ‘they will not be returning’

Two boys at a Melbourne private school have been expelled over a spreadsheet in which female classmates were ranked, its principal has told parents.

Four students from Yarra Valley grammar in Ringwood, in Melbourne’s east, were suspended last week after it came to light they had made the list. It included photos of female students ranking them as “wifeys”, “cuties”, “mid”, “object”, “get out” and “unrapable”.
