A STUDENT at one of Melbourne’s most prestigious schools has been suspended for creating a hit list aimed at classmates.
Police were called in earlier this month after Melbourne Grammar School uncovered the “negative list”.
The list targeted other senior school students for their sexuality, intelligence and appearance.
It has been reported the “HITLIST 2018” listed one student with the description: “I don’t think I’ll be able to kill him he never shows up anyway”.
The Herald Sun has obtained a copy of the disturbing hit list which names 30 of the student’s would-be ‘targets’.
It is broken down into three categories and provides a reason for each person appearing on the list.
One person was listed because he was “possible competition (and) might kill me first”.
Headmaster Roy Kelley said the boy had been suspended.
“We regard this incident as a very serious matter,” he said.
The school also reported the incident to Victoria Police but spokeswoman Belinda Batty said “no offence has been detected at this stage”.
Melbourne Grammar School is one of the state’s most prestigious boys’ schools and charges close to $33,000 for year 12.
Mr Kelley said the school was providing “counselling support as required” to all students involved.
