Teachers standard variable
Two daughters gone thru systems since primary school The opportunities given to them were tremendous Friendship problem in younger year group a bit more Math and science departments are great English department hod also great but the quality of others are undesirable. You really are left to your own devices I guess it’s good training for university

Passive agressive culture.
The teachers are ok, however the main problem is the students. There is a culture of exclusion and passive agressive remarks and very harsh language. this is not typically seem because the cohort is good at faking everything is fine. I have fell into a depression due to this school's students and it;s culture, constantly being excluded ect.

Diocesan did not inspire nor guide anything of value
This school stands as a symbol of injustice in New Zealand—where corruption triumphed over principle and those in modest means exploited. It failed to teach, inspire, or protect yet this mother sacrificed everything to send us there. My mother, raised and educated six children alone, fought seven years in courts before NZ finally introduced the 50% matrimonial settlement—yet she never received a cent for her welfare. The lawyers enriched themselves exploiting her as human traffic. The school k...

DO NOT
LIVE A HAPPY LIFE AND DON'T COME HERE, SPEND YOUR MONEY somewhere in Newmarket than HERE. 1: Education provided is so mid or even below, most teachers aren't really teaching anything at all(does not care at all if you haven't learned anything). It shows students achieve well cuz they personally work hard got nothing to do with this school. 2: School head teachers administrators greatly represents Capitalism evilness 3: Do not expect to enjoy life in this school, all that money you paid won't let the school take out a tiny bit of the money to actually hold events not even small ones. If there is an event(rarely) there is absolutely no school spirit and everyone is too lazy to participate. 4: People do not care about new students at all, they're all in various small tight friend groups not even trying to include new students. Also new students may get lost in school and have problems with a bunch of things because the school doesn't give you any support to help you fit in, like you may get lost or not knowing the meaning of building names on ur timetable because no one tells you which buildings are which and how to find the simplest info on the school app. 5: School library is a total joke, could count the books in there with two hands. 6: Appreciate life and choose another school, wish all the people reading this the best luck in finding the dream school.

Elitist and traumatic
Definitely not recommended. I went there and the teachers and the school don't give a shit about students' essential resources and educational quality. Students achieved highly only due to themselves.

Great school overall
Small classes, good year levels, very little bullying, accepting environment for lgbt people. Excellent help for people with learning struggles. Overall, good school environment. Some teachers are good, others not. Most are nice and friendly though. Facilities and subjects are great. Best IB school.

Teachers aren’t encouraging and don’t prep you enough for exams cause stress and don’t help you when you ask can’t control the class
