    Ts not tuff

    My gyatt did not looksmaxx in this school. It took me 6-7 times to mog the huzz like a real tung tung tung tung sahur. This school truly needs to stop being sus and lowkey lock in, spending 50000$ on a toilet block is NOT sigma, you are truly not bussin' IYKYK. Some of the teachers are the biggest dihs (?) in the whole history of brain rotting who's L rizz is MASSIVE, we can tell those male teachers are thirsty NPCs who snacks are their roman empire. We caught you in 4K lil bros, you are cooked?...

    shitty school

    fucking worst school you could ever go to. all they care about is; attendance, grades, smart kids, athletic/sporty people. this school drained the fuck out of my mental health WORST TEACHERS EVER. Worst ever friend groups too, you even get picked on for being quiet and the teachers don’t do shit about it but send them off to the deans but the deans don’t do fucking anything about the bullying. i’ve experienced bullying by the same people for the past 2 years and let me tell you IT NEVER GETS SOL...

    Disgusting

    My daughter was bullied and school officials ignored her. Meanwhile, my other daughter was interviewed for wearing shorts to school, “to protect her from bullies.” Last year I arranged for them to transfer to another school

    Terrible

    I would give this skl a 0/10 doesn't care about bulling or even people that have been threatened to be killed by other students. I would recommend this skl if your kids a shitbag but if not, dont. They would rather look nice then teach their students. Pedo teachers also known here. I was on my phone during an issue with bulling and they tried to take my phone out of my hands while in guidance. Would not recommend to people/parents that want their kids to success and not be bums. go to Verdon Col...

    bathroom human rights and mental health

    3 people kill themselves in a year because of this school, they care about you going to the bathroom while on ur period more than ur education and wellbeing. I asked to go to the bathroom and asked TWICE "I just got my period can I pls go to the bathroom" and my teacher said "unless someone comes with you then no." and so I asked the second time and she kept refusing and arguing, so after maybe 5 minutes of sitting there, I didn't want to make a mess and said "Ms I'm getting cramps I'm going to the office" and she started stuttering and she made someone come with me to MAKE SURE I was going to student admin and she asked for me to get PILLS but the nice ladies sent me home. she thinks I always ditch class but I only did it TWICE in term 1 because bullying in one specific class, why tf do teachers care so much about shitty stuff more than education? isn't edu what skls about????
