1. When Camilla and Geoffrey first meet up at the school and they are talking - The question is asked what happened to us. Camilla says "It was another time" Geoffrey says, 'it was 'Another Country'
This was the first movie Everett and Firth did together (1984)
2. Geoffrey throws Mr. Darcy (the dog here) out the window and kills him. A reference to killing off the Darcy thing.
3. The painting in question (to be stolen) is a Vermeer, (whom Colin played) Girl With a Pearl Earring (starred Colin).
4. When he drops his pants in the girls room, that is a reference to something he did in 'Hope Springs'
5. The ants all over him - 'Trauma'
6. The fountain - Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
7. Walking in wet white shirt (with jacket over his arm) and slow motion - Pride and Prejudice.
8. At the quiz, one of the questions asked is "This 19th century novel was originally named 'First Impressions.' What do we know it as today?"
No one got this answer in the movie and Colin/Geoffrey stands up and rolls his eyes (with a mild sigh) and walks out.
The answer, of course, is Pride and Prejudice.
9. You could account for the nude back shot as something from Playmaker... if you were so inclined.

I don't know why the script writers went to all the trouible of putting in all this clever/witty references...when, according to the OP, all that's needed are a few lame, adolescent 'blow job' gags and a casual reference to drug use to get the target audiences (12-15 yr olds) rolling in the aisles....
This film is a travesty of the good name of St Trinian's....

I loved the hints on Colin Firth's career, especially the slow motion wet shirt scene was hilarious and I can#t belive that they weren't intentional since the make up a big part of the script.
PS: not very hidden because the girls mention his name: when they first see the painting they go like "now I know why Colin Firth wanted to shag her." (Girl with pearl earring)
