Sex and nudity in St Trinian's
Sexual content consists of frequent innuendo and suggestive dialogue, including a pun on a strong curse word and references to 'shagging'. A clique of girls known as 'Posh Totty' are often seen in lingerie-style clothing. One scene involves a prank where a new student is filmed running naked through a hallway, though nudity is mostly obscured. In another scene, an adult character's brief rear nudity is shown from a distance during a comedic romantic encounter.
Violence and gore in St Trinian's
Violence is pervasive but entirely comedic and slapstick in nature, with no realistic injury or gore. At the school, students engage in target practice with semi-automatic weapons and are seen in moments of casual peril, such as being dangled over a banister. A key sequence involves a highly aggressive and cartoonishly violent field hockey match where players are intentionally hit and tackled. The central heist involves breaking and entering and incapacitating guards, but it is all portrayed for laughs.
Language in St Trinian's
Language is generally mild but contains some noteworthy moments. The British slang term "shagging" is used. In one scene, a character deliberately misinterprets the word "count" as a pun on a very strong, vulgar term for female genitalia.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in St Trinian's
Substance use is a recurring theme and is presented comically. The students operate an illegal distillery on school grounds to produce their own vodka, and a character has a dramatic but comedic reaction after testing a potent batch. In another scene, students spike the drinks of a rival team with hallucinogens. There are also verbal references to "uppers and downers," and the headmistress is briefly seen lighting what appears to be a large marijuana joint.
Mature themes in St Trinian's
The film's primary themes are rebellion, anti-authoritarianism, and using criminal activity (theft, fraud, cheating) as a justified means to save the school. There are also themes of parental neglect, shown when Annabelle's father expresses his dislike for her in a conversation overheard by the students. Bullying is present, both from Annabelle's former schoolmates and initially from the St Trinian's girls themselves before she is accepted into the group.
