Luke Mills

Luke Mills was one of the students at Charles Darwin Grammar in the third and final season of That'll Teach 'Em. He was much lower-key troublemaker than Scott Peters and his cohorts. Mills was most prominent in the first episode when housemasters Mr. Williams and Dr. Wilde raided Beagle Dorm to search for illegal contraband. To their horror, they uncovered Mills' mobile phone. Mills confidently tried to talk his way out of trouble by arguing that he'd forgotten to hand in his phone, but Mr. Williams saw right through Mills' excuse. The following morning, Mills was sent to the Headmaster's Office, where Mr. Warr forced him to come clean. As a consequence, he gave Mills a 2-hour detention and instructed him to go to bed at 8pm, and when he flagrantly ignored Mr. Warr's instructions while doing an impression of him, he ordered Mills to go to bed. He managed to stay out of trouble after this incident, aside from when the boys were punished en masse.
