Mediocre and Bureaucratic
The school has great potential with a few amazing teachers, however Senior management is dogmatic at best. The overlying theme which runs through this school is to keep their stats up and not cater for the individual. There are power hungry teachers and miserable people pushing their burdens to their students. Obviously this is Shambolic. Rights are disregarded as “getting in the way”. Overall, if you are in Southland, I recommend looking at another school, it will be for the better of your child.
Terrific teachers, terrible leadership
The teaching staff at James Hargest are amazing. The college as a whole is amazing. However, the senior management team are horrifically authoritarian, trans/homophobic, sexist and downright awful. They put down any student voice for change with the schools outdated policies with an iron fist, using threats and intimidation. It is a terrible shame that such great and influential teachers have to work underneath the fascist rule of the senior management team.
decent
good enough some creepy male teachers beware
