Dunstan High School

As a current student at Dunstan High School, I can honestly say it's an incredible place to learn, grow, and make lasting memories. From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed into a supportive community where teachers genuinely care about helping every student reach their full potential. There are so many opportunities to get involved, whether it's in academics, sports, the arts, cultural activities, or leadership, so everyone can find something they're passionate about. The friendships you build here, combined with the encouragement from staff and the positive atmosphere around the school, make Dunstan feel like more than just a place to study; it feels like a community. I'm genuinely proud to be a student here and grateful for everything this school has to offer.

Education is alright for a rural school doing NCEA. Pretty relaxed teachers who will just set you things on Google Classroom and sit down. Run down buildings and no air conditioning in nearly all classrooms with hot summer.

Dunstan High School has incompetent leadership who does nothing to alleviate the appalling culture within the school. There is next to no consequences for bad behaviour, and discipline is unheard of. The extreme level bullying at this school is systemic and there is a correlation between the culture at the school and the culture within Alexandra itself. i If a student is not born in Alexandra then they are automatically labelled an outsider and excluded/shunned. Avoid this school.
