That isn't going to stop other services from being tunneled over port 80.
There quite a few ways to do this. See Firepass. It is a tunneling tool,
allowing one to bypass firewall restrictions and encapsulate data flows
inside legal ones that use HTTP POST requests. TCP or UDP based protocols
may be tunneled with Firepass

What exactly are you trying to stop these students from doing? Is there a
