The annual run-in-your-undies through the school is usually timed to coincide with lunch period when the girls are out and about on the school grounds. But lunch time was over and most of the girls were back in class when the boys ran through the grounds about 1pm today.
The 50 boys were dressed in boxers or briefs and one wore a glittery gold g-string. They were also covered in blue paint body paint and slogans.
Chanting their college song they ran a lap around the school watched by some girls' college staff.
A small group of girls were seen standing at the side of the school hall applauding the boys, but were quickly ushered away by a member of staff.
The boys claimed this year's run was not just end-of-school hi-jink because they had donated money to the Prostate Cancer Foundation to take part. Several wore body paint in the foundation's colour, blue.
Senior students are nearly finished their school year with NCEA exams starting later this week. The girls' college is holding its prizegiving ceremony is tonight and boys' college ceremony is tomorrow afternoon.
