North Shore Police are reviewing CCTV footage to identify those responsible. While no charges have been announced, the incident is being taken seriously under state laws banning the display of hate symbols.

Community Reaction

Jewish community members said the swastika imagery outside Mosman High was deeply upsetting and an attack on historical memory and student safety. 

Advocacy groups for Holocaust survivors called it traumatic and harmful to any community that values respect. Local residents and parents echoed the concern, saying they were shocked by the poster and urged better monitoring of public spaces.

Broader Context

The poster appears linked to a wider anti-Tesla movement, with similar protests seen in Sydney and overseas. While some target CEO Elon Musk’s corporate influence, critics say Nazi-style imagery causes harm and overshadows valid concerns.

The group behind the Mosman poster remains unknown, but similar signs have surfaced across the lower North Shore. Mosman Council says it is removing the posters and taking steps to prevent further incidents.

Moving Forward

While no property was damaged, the emotional impact on students and staff remains a concern. School leaders are supporting students and urging families to report any similar incidents.



Community leaders have called for vigilance and education, urging residents to speak up against hate-driven actions and to ensure Mosman remains a safe environment for young people.
