But a group of students at an international school here may have seen a bit too much of two of their teachers last week.

While browsing files on the school's computer server, they chanced upon a video featuring two teachers having sex.

The video has since spread to students in other schools.

A teenager who is studying in a different school has seen the video.

James (not his real name), 18, said he learnt about it during an online chat last Friday with a friend who is in the same school as the two teachers.

They were talking about the friend's last school day when the latter blurted out: "Hey, have you heard? People from my school are talking about this video that's going around.


"It shows teachers having sex. Do you want to see it?"


Intrigued, James said yes.


His friend sent the file over and James waited half an hour for the clip to download.


"My friend was laughing when talking about it. He thought it was quite funny," he recalled.


"It was a 20-minute video, quite a big file. It showed a man and woman having sex. I was laughing a bit when I saw the video.


"I was shocked, too, because I was wondering what would have happened if this had been my school," James said.


The New Paper understands that the video was found on his friend's school's computer server. It is not known how the video ended upt here.


The explicit footage quickly circulated amongthe expatriate student population.


James' 16-year-old sister, who is in another school, also heard about the incident.


"She brought up the topic during dinner. My parents laughed but you can imagine it got a bit awkward at the dinner table,"the blonde teenager said.


His friend is overseas and could not be reached, but his junior in school, Adeline (not her real name), 17, confirmed that the clip hadgone viral.


She said: "A girl came up to some of us on the last day of school and said her class had found the video. She asked if we wanted to see it.


"Students were passing it around. I heard someone had posted it on Facebook and was offering to send it to others through Skype."


The video, which appears to have been taken by a camera in a fixed position, shows a naked man and a woman wearing a camisole, underwear and high-heel shoes having sex in a bedroom.


Another three students said they had heard about the video's existence but had not viewed the clip.


Adeline, who did not watch the video, said she knewthe teachers involved.


Themanis said to have handled disciplinary matters at the school, where he has worked for almost a decade.


"We thought of him as Voldemort (the main villain in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series). He is very stern and always wearing black. But once you know him, he's actually quite nice," she said.


Fellow students said the woman in the videowasone of the stricter teachers there.


TNP understands that the two teachers are dating each other and could get married soon.


Adeline said that the profiles of both teachers had been removed from the school's website.


"I hope they didn't lose their jobs because of this," she added.


"What some of the students are doing (spreading the video) is really irritating. There's no respect at all."


A school spokesman said the school was "not in a position to comment on the personal life of ex-staff as these are private matters".


Its academic year ended on June 8. TNP understands that the teachers were not fired but had left after they finished their contracts.


The spokesman said: "While there was no breach in the school's IT security, the school has briefed its senior leadership, so they can share the learnings (from) this incident and promote the responsible use of technology with the senior students in the upcoming academic year."


When told about the matter, expat parents had varying reactions.


A housewife who wanted to be known only as Mrs Vivi, 48, was appalled that the video had become public.


Her family has been in Singapore for six years, and her son and two daughters attend the school in question.


"What the teachers did was their private matter.


"The video could have been accidentally sent. Mistakes do happen. I feel very sorry for the teachers involved and for the school. It's a pity (this happened)," she said.


"The students shouldn't be spreading the video. Children may think it's funny to do so, but I don't think I would find it funny if (such behaviour) came from my own friends."


She said she and her husband would discuss the matter with their children.


Another parent, who wanted to be known only as Mr G, laughed as he said: "My children are big girls. I have no problem about this (if they saw the video)."


The father of three daughters aged 14 to 20 moved to Singapore last year. His children do not study at the school.


He said: "In today's digital age, it's difficult to keep things under wraps, but it's what the teachers should have done - kept it under wraps."


Still, he did not think the incident was a big deal.


"As a parent, I won't complain because there are other more important things to complain about," he said.


Lawyer Tan Hee Joek said the students who circulated the video are breaking the law as it is illegal to make, distribute, show, import, or possess, any obscene video recording.


Under the Films Act, first-time offenders caught sending out obscene films will be fined at least $2,000 for each film distributed or jailed up to two years, or both.


"Technically, the teachers could be in trouble with the law for making an obscene film but the chances of the police charging them over this is remote,"Mr Tan said.


The teachers could also sue for copyright infringement if they wish but not for invasion of privacy.


"There is no privacy law here," Mr Tan added.
