    Extremely bad and pointless school

    They do not care about my mental health and keep dismissing me, and always have a bad expectations on students. The teachers are also extremely irresponsible or just get up in your face, there are some teachers which I won't name that actually say really rude stuff to me even though they know i've been struggling with mental health, and they cannot manage bullying etc.

    Stolen property

    Hillcrest High School has a major Thieft problem and the Staff do nothing about it! Do not send your child here unless you want their property to be stolen. I would give 0 stars it's not a good school at all!!

    The Uniform for Year Thirteen is stupid

    I liked this school for a bit, until started to announce a year thirteen uniform. Do the math, that's like 3 expensive uniforms, and one you wear for only a year. They are talking about getting rid of casual clothes days too, but every other school in Hamilton has them. The year thirteen uniform is so unnecessary.

    Incompetency

    Many of the “higher ups” are incompetent. They get power and act like complete tools who don’t can’t be bothered doing their jobs so they deny, blame, insult and go back on their word. I don’t think I have seen a more unorganised environment ever. Students are arrogant, pathetic no lives who think they’re cool. I find it crazy that a kid who defended himself against a bully got suspended, genuinely baffles me, however this is Hillcrest so are we really surprised? I tried to make change in the school but got shut down on so many different occasions. Don’t send your children there parents.
