    Most helpless school.

    I attended this school for 6 years. I left before completing Year 13 due to bullying. Don’t get me wrong, some of the teachers are genuinely amazing and will go above and beyond, but the rest of them on the other hand… I’m not sure where to start. My PE Teacher (I will not name for privacy and respect), he left a wee bit ago due to a rumour of him trying to touch a female students leg, and then he came back…me and my best friend felt so uncomfortable around him due to his creepy stares and creep...

    My first school i got accepted

    So I am a short person (which is alr bad enough) but a subject to racism. But when I went to this school, we'll it was amazing. Wonderful teachers ❤️ (hi Mrs rangi) And for me atleast, everyone has been welcoming and I made a lot of friends. Aside from a few bad people I loved this school. But to say it's fully welcoming is wrong. See there's this one short (no offence) kinda dorky has glasses and bunny teeth that gets bullied along sadly. To be fair he was an attention seeker and constantly ca...

    how ass some of the teachers are.

    I have been at Darfield High School since year 7 and I swear if you don't understand the work they set for you a high percentage of the teachers don't try and help you they just yell and scream at you.

    stay away

    This shit is so ass never come here. If you thought bullying was bad at your school people at darfield are relentless literally everybody is out to get you. Expect racism, homophobia everything happens here. Some teachers even got bullied out of darfield. Some chill asf people here tho. Too bad if you need to take a shit, toilets are locked even during lunch and if there is a toilet open there’s 5 year sevens vaping inside ready to scrap. So easy to get vapes and drugs here lol. No jokes there’s at least two fights every week people getting stood down left and right. Teachers are okay, some are good but others and just dumb. Only consider coming here if you’re going to do rural college because every other class is horrible.

    Definitely would not recommend coming to my school lol teachers are horrible and 90% of them are pedos and have no lives. Education system here is fucked and uniform is horrid. School never does anything about problems or issues. Plus side is you can vape in the bathrooms lol

    disgrace to call it a school.

    Intellectually bankrupt organisation which is full of drug use, bullying, racism, Homophobia, and out of date learning topics. Frankly it’s a disgrace to call it a school.

    Darfield high school

    Worst school wouldn’t recommend I went there and teachers threw a chair at me and swore all the time. Police were always at school and the principal got fired. Drugs always around selling and smoking in school area (outside classes) people vaping in bathrooms. Students Drinking multiple times in one year. Students got caught smoking and they got no punishment. The only good thing about this school is there farming course and sports.
