A high school teacher has been rumbled for secretly filming up the skirts of female students after a teenage pupil bumped into a whiteboard and found a hidden mobile phone pointed at her.
Physics teacher Eric Wong, 28, is set be sentenced next week after admitting to two charges of filming a person's private parts without consent at Cammeraygal High School at Crows Nest, Sydney, Australia.
Court documents said police officers found up to 300 pictures and 90 videos of girls in school uniform in his classroom, including "up-skirt" photos and images focused upon their breasts.

The Sydney Morning Herald reported that video examples included Mr Wong "walking up next to or behind the female students and whilst talking to them or observing them undertaking their science experiment" while he: "Discreetly positions his mobile phone in position to film private parts.
"In some video files the accused can be seen talking to the female victims and then glance toward his mobile phone, which is then repositioned, making sure he captured the stated areas of the female body."
Court documents indicated a 16-year-old girl became suspicious when she knocked a mobile phone out of its hiding place and believed it was placed in such a position that it was filming her.
Students at the school received a letter from headmistress Kathy Melky three days before Christmas informing them a "serious criminal charge has been laid by NSW Police against a staff member'".
