Proud Past Student

This is quite frankly, one of the best school experiences of my life. Growing up, I've had to move a lot, meaning I've changed schools a fair amount of times. Not all schools have been great, but I genuinely enjoyed my time at AGHS. If I could, I would repeat my high school experience all over again.

This place is seriously awesome, filled with some of the fiercest, most passionate, and ride-or-die students you'll ever meet. At first, you might think they're a bit mean or bitchy, but let me tell ya, there's so much more to these gals.

The students at Avonside Girls High School are like a force of nature. They don't hold back, speak their minds, and stand up for what they believe in. They've got this incredible strength and determination that's just downright inspiring. It's like they've got a "no limits" mindset, breaking through barriers and challenging the status quo.

But let me tell you, behind that tough exterior, these girls have hearts of gold. Once you get to know 'em, you'll see the kind of loyalty and support that's off the charts. Actual girl’s girls. They've got each other's backs, lifting each other up when times get tough, and forming bonds that'll last a lifetime. It's like a sisterhood that's unbreakable, where kindness and compassion are the name of the game.

Avonside Girls High School is all about celebrating individuality, nurturing passions, and encouraging students to go after their dreams with everything they've got. The teachers and staff are top-notch, too. They're there to guide these incredible young women, helping them become the absolute best versions of themselves.

School is alright. The learning space is good and some teachers are great. Some teachers are very rude and don't help with your learning at all

Don't go to avonside girls high school

Had a terrible experience due to bullying and threats teachers didn't really help and I ended up dropping out of school at 17 and hating all forms of education

average overall

most students are inconsiderate, especially when it comes to the bathrooms. i’d say about 50-50 of teachers are good and not the good, new principal is awesome. i’d recommend doing the short courses as the teachers in that dep are very helpful and nice.

Mixed opinion

I was bullied so much I left. Most of the teachers were rly nice tho. Students dgaf and it's so easy to get away with stuff. Heaps of good opportunities in extra curricular but beware you'll get bullied if you be yourself. The school is full of racists and homophobic people including teachers. A teacher in particular targeted certain religious groups after a certain traumatic event. Senior leadership did bigger all. Also why go to a school known as slutside.

Not recommend

I would not recommend this school, at all. The main problem is the teachers, most of them are ok but there are three that immediately come to mind that were absolutely terrible. There is one teacher that is blatantly homophobic and transphobic.

Reflection

I genuinely find it a place where you are to look after yourself and you are all alone. Bullying, racism, homophobes and transphobes walk the hallways every day pin pointing people without realising they are doing it. The teachers are not very nice as majority of them have very little respect. This left me feeling extremely alone
