Feilding High School

The reason Mufti Days were banned is because of furries trying to wear their fur suits... On a more personal experience, a furry told me and the friend I'm writing this with to, quote, "Go slit your wrists you ******* ***", without being disturbed. In my opinion, this is absolutely unacceptable and the principal and councillors need to do more to protect average folk from being met with litter-boxes in bathrooms and being harassed. Last year, furries were bringing in litter-boxes to the bathroom. Teachers knew about this and did nothing to consequence the furry-students-animals, while the rest of the students had to smell and see faeces and urine on the floor anytime we wanted to use the bathroom. Furries have claimed areas ('territories') for themselves and will bark, scratch and/or bite you if you try to sit down in their 'area'. They have claimed most of the areas with seats, only leaving A-block benches and A-block tables, which are packed with senior students. As year 10 students, my friend and I do not feel safe or welcome with such creatures crawling around, waiting to pounce.

Would rate this school the worst. My parents moved a lot so I’ve been to plenty of different high schools, and I finished my academics at Feilding high for about 2 years, And this is the worst school I had ever been too. Teachers are rude, unsupportive and racist. We even had a small gathering of young Māori/pacific island students meeting with the deans, school head figures and the police, I remember one question that was asked by the policeman to snuff out which teachers or faculty where racist. The policeman even asked “can you tell me which staff are racist?” No one said a word because we had all been having a hard time with them and the staff that were present for the meeting were the ones that were the racists. Also I remember the day I left the rugby team and all the deans and higher ups turned on me real fast.

full of a bunch of inbred freaks who harass anybody who dares be different. teachers do nothing about bullying. i have had slurs screamed and me and have been told to kill myself multiple times but nothing has ever been done. all the school cares about is sports, the arts department is extremely underfunded. classrooms are full of cockroaches and rats are prevalent in english resource rooms.

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

One of the most awful years of my life was because of this school. I left because of the of worst teaching you could ever witness. Teachers who are depressed, unenergetic, mean, selfish, some who can bearly speak English and the list goes on really. Don't get me started on the deans, they care more about going home than wanting to help you. Many of my friends shared the same pain with me. Plus the hair rules where boys can't have long hair, if you do they send you to the deans, so weird. But this one teacher, a very nice maths teacher. He taught me lots, if only the rest where like him this review would of been a lot better.

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.

The "School regulations" 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 our eyebrows or covering our ears. The school cares way too much about their school image and doesn't allow any freedom or expression of self. If a girl is allowed long hair why isn't a guy allowed it? More money should be put into wellbeing and mental health.

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.

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.

The school celebrates the same few students (academic and sporting codes) regularly. The values are not celebrated and recognition is not spread across students that make a difference through effort, kindness and inclusion. Issues are not addressed at a school-wide level meaning certain unfavourable behaviours continue. It is not a safe emotional and social place for all students. The staff use old pedagogy which is long out-dated and students complain of disengagement. There is a lot of worksheet type tasks. Some teachers refuse to help students who need the work explained. The 2021 Y10 pupils were not offered camps although all surrounding high school went ahead with theirs. There has not been any consultation or consideration of offering these pupils an alternative as the have been robbed of a memorable experience which is normally the highlight of high school experience.

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

It’s a decent school but really need to take students mental health seriously and get better councillors and see ALL STUDENTS no matter what the problem they have, teacher aids need to STOP being so controlling and same with the teachers... this school is too strict and care too much on appearance etc more than your education and well being.

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

Don’t recommend, truly a dissatisfying experience. Wouldn’t send my dog here❤️

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.

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.
