) and teacher tells us that we can't go through on a Young Enterprise product because it violates Child Protection Laws. Basically we were going to do a calendar of the best looking blokes in the year, very popular idea and we've put a lot of effort into it, even started taking pre orders and money and now it looks like all that works gonna go down the drain. Thing is, another school locally did a calendar like that and didn't get into trouble so, apparently, it's 'how you interpret the law'. I can't find the actual law anywhere, does anyone know what I'm talking about? Something about not being able to take photos of children and then selling them. All the boys are over 16, some are over 18. Also, the school has photos of scantily glad girls in fishnets all over the place from a dance thing, that would have had a programme being sold and stuff.....and the school magazine. Do the school just hate us ? 
Anyone know if there's any way of getting around this? WHat is the actual law anyway? 
What is your teacher going on about,
Ok you are not talking porn, so even if they were under 16 or 18 that would be no problem.
So guys from neighbours girls magazines (yuck just thinking of under 16 year olds with media attention), models in catalougues and dozens of other examples would be banned if your teacher was right.
Go to the Headmaster (principle) and explain the situation, see what he/she says. The school may put "good taste" guidlines but those would be well within what you are thinknig about doing anyhow by the sound of it.
Actually I have a suspicion that the teacher is afraid that somes boys will complain and ask to do a calender of the best looking girls in the year.
