Feilding High School

The school has no overall care for the mental health of students. They don’t take into consideration what could be going on at home or in their lives and more focus on trying to look good. The students that play sports are treated way more fairly then students that don’t.

Especially some teachers there that make fun of kids and if a student tries to stick up for themselves they don’t let them and don’t let them have a voice

If I had enough money for a lawyer I would like them to court. The Deans and principal are bullies and they are only interested in their sports players. They kick kids out willy nilly and bully certain kids until they break.
If your kid is struggling dont expect help - they are only interested in their image.
Honestly the heads of that school need to all be fired - I have never come across a group of narcissistic bullying men in my life.

Hugeeeee bullying problem. Dean's are useless and unless ur a fave they will treat u like a problem. School loves u if u play sports. Not enough places to sit. They don't communicate enough, we don't know anything until the last moment. Not enough freedom.

The restrictions on hair are completely unfair for guys that want long hair. Girls are allowed hair down to their shoulders before it is tied up but guys can't have it past their eyebrows or covering their ears. Too much focus on punishing and enforcing rules and not enough on freedom of mental health. All this to preserve the school image, may as well just be a girl now. Also the school cares way too much about sports.

L school. There was like 2 good teachers. And no phones at lunch was fucked 😭

Is it true this school expects students to provide proof of death certificates if they take a day or two off for the death of a loved one? Weird.

Honestly this school is a joke. Would not recommend to anyone. The school is more focused on it's stupid image to focus on the students struggling. Although the dean's are supposed to support students they instead make it their mission to make life hard and unless you are able to stand up for yourself they crush you. For instance I was placed in a class that I was not comfortable in it was filled with people who had bullied me last year (school did nothing when I complained except send me to the councillor.) I also had no friends in that class and suffer from severe social anxiety. I am also a year 10 student and the were assigning me yr 11 ncea stuff which I felt I wasn't ready for and even some of my teachers agreed it was unessecary to push us that far they still did it. So anyway I asked for a room swap and they didn't swap me even though they were literally swapping the lower band classes. Another thing I hate about this school, they reward bad behavior. Me a top mark student gets yelled at for having the audacity to stand up for myself while they buy lunch for and cosy up with the guy who swears at all his teachers and tried to stab someone last week. Honestly the double standard in the school is obvious and I'm sick of it.

This school expects everyone to be head over heels smart and when it comes to open day they always pick topband kids that they think look good for school pictures and that are smart enough, I think that everyones voices deserve to be heard even if you arent the smartest it doesnt make you any less human, the health teachers alwasy say how you should express yourself in feeling and looks but its pretty hard to do that when you arent aloud coloured or unatural hair and the boys have to have it cut above the shirt collar, and when we do speak about how we feel the school just doesnt have it. This school is mostly supportive to sports and always give rewards and attention to sport players but never any academic rewards or anything. The school does push you to be your best in school but sometimes they expect way to much from you. The music department is one of the only places that are welcoming to every academic level and dont judge you for it. Some of the teachers are really rude and disrespectful to students, if your skirt is just above your knees or if your face needs shaving or if your hair needs cutting they be sure that you know about it whether its infront of alot of people or if you get pulled out of class. The school when it comes to bullying instead of trying to help the victim they make it out that it was your fault for trusting or interacting with the bully. If you want to go to a school where its based on being very smart and very sporty then this place is for you, but in my opinion they need to lower their expectations

Good school I enjoy attending it, didn’t enioy the sports day/interhouse thing this year, liked it last year.

It’s is not that inclusive I mean they try to be which is good but they only care about sports especially rugby. (Can get away with a lot of things). They also don’t care about being expressive and having a voice. I don’t feel that comfortable being there sometimes especially in the junior years after I struggled with some issues they just told me to go to the councillor which didn’t help. They need to have some mental health resources which would more do with the educational system. Some teachers are cool and supportive. Others aren’t, are very judgmental, harsh and need to think of their students. They have some good subject options though. Year 10 camp was also a highlight here. I guess it is just school.

Honestly isn't a lot I can say about FAHS. I personally have had a fairly well experience with the school thus far, but unfortunately cannot say the same for others.

Very bad teachers! Don’t think you’ll be able to get the wrong earnings past them! how dare you wear a slightly too big earring ❤️ Overall the rules are extremely illogical, for example taking your jackets and scarves off inside? and i’m not even going to get started on the hair rules. Heavy focus on punishment rather than dealing with issues in depth.

I think it’s a great school. The teacher’s are all supportive and offer support to you whenever you need it. The opportunities are great and they’re are many. Fahs incorporates everyone’s culture.
