Please read if you are considering coming to GEIS.

Hello, I am now a former student at GEIS. And to be honest, it f*cking sucked. (mostly) If you want to learn and have a good foundation for high school, I do not recommend coming here. The amount of sports and fitness at this school is simply too much, and the staff are not good at their jobs.

Year 7 was singlehandedly the worst year for me, as my teacher DIDNT teach, and left half way through the year. Year 8 was much better, though my teacher had the patience of a dog waiting for food.

Three days a week, we had to get changed on piss covered floors for 15 minutes of the most grueling fitness sessions of my life. Not to mention the pool changing rooms, which was one big hall where 30 guys had to get butt naked infront of each other. Simply the worst.

And last but not least: the buses. Singlehandedly the worst thing at this school. It was 70 to 80 people in a vehicle going nuts—EVERY DAY. Not to mention the strike system was useless seeing as the bus drivers had to report about naughty students but then again, they are bus drivers who probably dont even know anything about the strike system.

Anyway, dont come to this school. Saved you some years. :)

Overall poor

It's an amazing school if you excel I. Sports if you don't and want to learn look for a different school.

Mediocre

Tbh didn’t really learn anything at all, and as a result struggled in first years of high school. Teachers are mostly cool and the techs/arts are super fun and cool for kids. Pool is a big plus, overall a good school social experience but not a helpful academic one. Tuck shop was really good when i was there but not sure how it is now.

Average

Teachers are nice. But I absolutely didn’t not learn anything in my 2 years at Glen eden. Also some students are quite rude, quite a lot of bullying as well.

Would give it a 5/10

It was a terrible school, I learned nothing, and I am now having a hard time with high school. While the school principal was nice to me, the vice principal acted as if he was the principal, the teachers made you run in physical education even when you were out of breath or struggling to regain your stamina, and the kids were nice, but they rarely stay in high school. I would give the school a 5/10.

Didn’t learn

Didn’t learn anything, didn’t prepare me for high school, focuses only on sports not on academics.
