Canberra private school boys ranked female students

Canberra Grammar School is investigating after male students created a list ranking female students based on their appearance. The school has seen a redacted copy of the list, which contains 100 names and a color-coded ranking system with scores ranging from S to F. The head of the prestigious private school, Justin Garrick, informed staff and parents in an email that demeaning commentary had been circulating among the cohort.

The school has provided support to students, including from its psychologist and chaplain, and met with students from the affected year level to offer assistance. The school emphasized the importance of respect and dignity for all members of the community and encouraged students to work together positively. Canberra Grammar School, which started accepting female students in 2017, has been operating since 1929.
