A student has been left fuming after her Australian Catholic school Photoshopped her cleavage out in a yearbook photo.
Olivia Aloisi was shocked to find a photo of herself in her school yearbook had been digitally edited to change the appearance of her breasts, and contacted Mary MacKillop College in Brisbane to ask why.
She claims the school told her it was told it was done for 'marketing reasons'.
The 18-year-old, who graduated last year, told the Courier Mail : "I went to talk to the vice principal at the time and said ''that's just not okay'.
"And she basically said, ''well, you're standing front row, and you're in a low plunge dress – it's just not appropriate if we want to use that photo as marketing material for the school'."
"I felt like someone from the school should have spoken to me before releasing the Photoshopped and unedited photo to the entire grade – everyone could tell, but at least there would have been some sort of warning."
Ms Aloisi was only alerted of the Photoshop when she was told by someone who wasn't even a close a friend. She said being told made her feel 'embarrassed'.
Brisbane Catholic Education has been approached for comment.
Just last month, students claimed the Catholic school asked for them to submit photos of their dresses in order for them to be approved before this years prom.
They had issued a strict booklet outlining the dresses they must adhere to and gave photographic evidence of appropriate and inappropriate dresses.
Some of the banned outfits included low backs below the waist and plunging necklines.
However, according to the Courier Mail, a student said many of the girls had their dresses 'declined' and had to seek alternative dresses in order to be able to attend.
The student said: "I'm sure many girls have an opinion on the way the school deals with dress codes, we get it thrown in our face that we will 'make the male teachers uncomfortable."
Brisbane Catholic Education has since claimed 'there was no process in place to approve dresses'.
