Furious parents have lashed out at a Sydney high school after up to 70 students were barred from attending their Year 10 graduation because they were wearing fake nails.
The students from Mackellar Girls Campus on the northern beaches were instead placed in a separate room and banned from entering the main hall where the graduation took place.

Speaking to news.com.au, the mother of a barred student Sarah* said a lot of parents had taken time off to attend the 9.15am assembly on Monday.

“No one had any idea where they were and the assembly started an hour later because they were disciplining the girls because of the nails,” said Sarah.

“A lot of the parents had to actually leave the ceremony because they had to get back to work.”
