Lies, cover ups and bullying

Do not send your children here. The maths and science teachers are so useless the kids are so far behind their peers when they get to uni they drop out because they can’t catch up. My kids cam from an average school and spent 2-3 years bored as they wrre still covering subject matter taught in yr 8 in year 10. The bullying is rife and the kids cant report it because the teachers gossip about the bullying to other pupils wnd teachers. The school motto is “snitches get stitches “ The teachers are bullys too. The school seems moe concerned with their reputation and sweeping issues under the rug than improving the students education. Its never going to change and the ero report is a lie… please… don’t make the same mistake… send them to Dunstan college or anywhere else!!

please try not to send your kids here.

Can confirm this school was an absolute living hellhole to go to. Bullying, sexual harassment, you name it. It was pretty much there. School did jack to stop any of it. The most they did was have 'anti-bullying speakers' come and that did nothing. I was here from y8-y13 and did not once enjoy my time here at all. Bully culture is real at this school and not much is done to prevent it. Be prepared to be punished if you're standing up for yourself🙃

If that doesn't frighten you, maybe some of the teachers will. Some of the teachers will go as far as to swear at the students and scream at them if class got bad. I understand teenagers are an absolute pain in the ass to deal with sometimes, but it's highly unprofessional and out of line to cuss and raise your voice loudly at them. I had an autistic friend who had behavioral issues, and our science teacher had enough and told him "I'm surprised you even have the brain cells on how to work a pen". Disgusting.

Bullying

Teachers witness bullying in class and do nothing about it. Students are scared to ask other teachers for help because they’re Scared it’ll get worse.
