The Scots College: 17-year-old boy allegedly assaulted by fellow students in shocking ‘tradition’

Shocking new details have emerged after a 17-year-old boy allegedly had beer thrown all over him and was called offensive names by students from an elite Sydney private school.

The incident unfolded in the bushes near the Woollahra Golf Club on Saturday afternoon, where a group of boys from The Scots College allegedly physically and verbally abused the teen.

The school in Bellevue Hill is one of the most prestigious in the country, with fees for Year 11 and 12 just shy of $47,000 a year.

The 17-year-old reportedly had arranged to meet the group after being invited to join a private Snapchat group. Lured under the guise of attending a party, he was then allegedly ambushed by fellow students.

The boy was forced to walk through a “human tunnel” while being pushed, slapped and verbally abused, The Daily Telegraph reported.

After a few minutes, he managed to escape, ringing his mother and police.

His distraught mother, Trish, has now shared graphic details of the incident.

“He was lured there, and he was pressured into going. They told him there was an expectation for him to be there, he needed to be there to offer support,” she told 2GB’s Ben Fordham on Monday.

“When he got there, he was set upon by this group. They handed him a flag, and they ridiculed him, poured beer over him, his hair, pulled his shirt.”

Trish said her son is “obviously shaken” by the horrible ordeal, suffering bruises “all over” his body.

“(They) just absolutely humiliated him, laughing and taunting him, calling him disgusting names,” she added.

Trish says the ritual is a “tradition” among senior students at the school.

“From what I have researched, it was called ‘Bob 2025’. It seems to be some type of tradition with year 10 to 12 boys. They do it twice a year, it’s like a coming of age.”

NSW Police have confirmed they are investigating the incident.

The Nightly has reached out to the college for comment.
