Two year 10 students from Methodist Ladies' College, MLC, in Kew, east Melbourne, have been disciplined after a school trip to the School of St Jude in Arusha, Tanzania in September

Two students have received 'appropriate sanctions' for breaching the school's s

tudent code of behaviour.Jane Grjl, a spokesperson for MLC, told Daily Mail Australia: 'All students have a clear understanding of the expectations of behaviour – in essence, school rules apply, as they are on school tour.

'Unfortunately, MLC can confirm that following the school visit, two students breached the MLC student code of behaviour, whilst still in Tanzania.'

The school's Code of Behaviour outline describes that disciplinary procedures are enforced 'to help students reflect on those aspects of their behaviour'.

An unnamed MLC student told the Herald Sun that the students 'haven't been reprimanded, really', as they have not been expelled nor suspended.

Memes referring to the incident have reportedly begun circulating in social media circles from nearby private schools. 

MLC students have been visiting the Tanzania since 2010 to help raise donations for the School of St Judes, which provides poverty stricken children with free education.

'Each year students from MLC participate in a community based learning experience,' Ms Grjl told Daily Mail Australia.

The spokesperson added that the students visited and worked with the Tanzanian students, engaging with the families and local community.
