The reputations of some of Australia's most exclusive private schools have taken a battering in recent years after a series of scandals involving privileged male students.
This week Daily Mail Australia revealed the disgraceful behaviour of two brothers and former students of Knox Grammar School on Sydney's North Shore.
Nick Drummond coward punched a man and hit a woman in the face on a drunken night out while older sibling Daniel sent disturbing messages to his ex-girlfriend for two years after they broke up.
Their stories come after years of bad behaviour by students from other elite schools around Australia, with offensive scavenger hunts, fight clubs, and lewd songs making headlines.
And earlier this year former Kambala student Chanel Contos, 22, started a petition for sexual consent education in elite schools which led to thousands of girls from around Australia recounting abuse and sex assault at the hands of their male peers.
Martin Crotty, an associate professor in Australian History at the University of Queensland said private schools create and encourage 'very strong group identities' in male students.
'They breed toxic masculinity, there's a long history of this behaviour,' he told Daily Mail Australia.
'You find this kind of thing in the army as well, in footy teams. They all have the common denominator of being hyper-masculine.'

Mr Crotty said boys-only private schools have a responsibility to ensure students are properly educated about appropriate social practices.
Last year a scavenger hunt from Shore School was leaked that saw a points award for a number of acts including 'pissing on a homeless man', 'hooking up with an Asian' and the 'Boar Hunter' which is having sex with a woman over 80kg.
Meanwhile pupils at $19,000-a-year St Kevin's College in Melbourne and students at Brisbane's Villanova College were recorded singing lewd songs with offensive lyrics towards women.
St Kevin's College students dressed in their school's stripped blazers were filmed chanting the song in 2019, saying: 'I wish that all the ladies, were holes in the road... And if I was a dump truck, I'd fill them with my load.'
The Villanova Catholic school boys were recorded signing a song that mentioned 'c*m and go', 'shoot and scoot' and 'ejaculate and evacuate', referring to having sex with a woman.
Mr Crotty said these schools should be looking at an overhaul in the way they educate boys about social practices or should consider following the lead of Barker College, a private school up the road from Knox, and accept female students.
'There needs to be much, much better education and socialisation of kids. If they can't manage it they should go co-ed,' he said.
'I think the masculine Australian culture has something to blame here, but frankly I think they should go all go co-ed.'
Mr Crotty believes there would be natural social policing of poor behaviour within schools from girls if boys are acting inappropriately, and would also see a change to curriculums to ensure diversity.

Shore School's Muck Up Day
Last year Shore School, on the city's lower north shore, threatened to expel Year 12 students who tookpart in the 'Triwizard Shorenament' - a reference to Harry Potter.
The 'official rule and challenge book' - created by students in a PDF document - revealed the plans of final year boys who would be split into teams of five or six before carrying out a series of 'treacherous' tasks to compete for points.
The rule book stated all participants from the $33,000-a-year school were required to chip in $10 and the team which gathered the most points would be awarded the total cash prize.
Required to finish a case of 30 beers in 15 minutes before starting the challenges, groups would then be given seven hours of 'hunting' from 6pm to 1am.
'If anyone gets caught by a teacher/cops they will say that they were just having fun between the 5/6 of them and won't mention the tournament,' the instructions stated.
'What happens on the night stays within the night. No evidence is to be shared outside of the Year 12 2020 Shore community.'
The 'official rule and challenge book' - created by students in a PDF document - revealed they planned to meet for the series of 'treacherous' challenges
The end of the rule book reads: 'Don't share this document with anyone outside of Shore.' 'Disqualification will apply to those who do'
Students were encouraged to bring Vaseline, a towel, 'lots of alcohol', a spare set of clothing, a 'solid' amount of money, a topped up Opal card and a portable speaker.
Among the tasks were stealing a street sign, shaving an eyebrow, posing for a naked photo in front of Luna Park and 'hooking up' with a random girl.
They ranged from the humorous to the disgusting, including the 'Pakistan Sacrifice: Eat 2 laxatives and a phaal curry (spicy curry) from Lavender Bay Curry', 'Trifecta Spit (spit roast, spit on homeless man and jump off spit bridge)' and 'Get with someone below 15'.
Last year Shore threatened to expel anyone who participated in the hunt, saying it was not 'representative of our wider Year 12 group'.
A female passenger filmed the St Kevin's College students chanting as they made their way to an inter-school athletics carnival in south Melbourne in 2019
St Kevin's College Lewd Song
Year 10 pupils at $19,000-a-year St Kevin's College in Melbourne sang a cricket chant with offensive lyrics while on their way to an athletics tournament in 2019.
Dressed in their school's stripped blazers, they chanted: 'I wish that all the ladies, were holes in the road... And if I was a dump truck, I'd fill them with my load.'
The video was shared by a frightened passenger who described the chant as 'disgusting' and said she was too afraid to confront the boys.
Former pupil Luka Kiernan, who graduated the previous year, said he was not surprised by the video.
'It is very reflective of the hyper-masculine, totally misogynistic culture that really pervades all levels at St Kevin's,' he told ABC News.

'It really for me just shows a level of confidence and audacity that these boys have in their own sexist attitudes that they feel they can express them publicly on a tram without any shame at all.'
Three students were suspended over the incident and Headmaster Stephen Russell apologised on their behalf.
'Students upset by the behaviour have already come to me and we have been following through in both a disciplinary and pastoral manner,' he said.
'We have always and will continue to challenge such poor behaviour and
