A Gold Coast school cleaner has been awarded more than $150,000 in compensation after his workmates played a cruel prank on him by pretending an orgy had taken place in a staff room.

On September 2014, Shane Green's colleagues set up the Helensvale State School staff room to look like a sexual orgy had taken place.

A mattress, a pillow and bedclothes were allegedly taken from the school's sick room and placed in the kitchenette at the school, according to documents supplied to the Queensland Civil Administrative Tribunal.

The colleagues then allegedly squirted cream into condoms and placed them around the room along with a bra, ladies boxer shorts and empty bottles of beer and wine.

A number of party poppers were also allegedly discharged and chips were scattered across the floor.
