    Big black monkey ballz ooga booga

    Love the racist teachers, the smell of black mold in the morning and all the beatings in general. Also love the the mental health help that didn't help me not want to kill myself☺️?❤️ 10/10 would recommend (if you want to end up with severe depression)

    Read for genuine information.

    I'm just reading some of these reviews, some are stupid some are genuine. well here's what I have problems with at Kaikorai Valley College, There are some nice teachers yes, meanwhile they will always talk about you in the staff room and how annoying you are, The Staff think they are making a change with Vaping where 1 in every 10 students vapes and litters, They Expel people who vape more come in, They need more security around too the amount of students who leave whenever they damn well pleas...

    terrible

    If you went here and it was bad, just so you know it has not changed. Do not send your kids here, bullying is a problem, there is only a small group of kind teachers, the rest make the environment of the school not very welcoming. One of the worst high schools in New Zealand

    This school is fine

    i don't get why people say that this school is bad, it genuinely isn't and all the teachers are fine and the only bad things are the food and the bathrooms, other than that everything else is fine

    Good luck

    I will explode next time I come here TEACHERS DON'T CLEAN up after themselves one the subs might as well be hobos with problems students are ASS as watch them litter EVERYWHERE THEN FOR A TEACHER to come up and pick it up right after one of my ass teachers don't care about anything at all you can vape right in front they won't care as long as it doesn't involve them or his classroom you could throw a chair at someone at break but the moment your sleep deprived ass tries to walk in half the classrooms you applerntly breathed the wrong way or walked to fast and get sent out immediately. Also the CRAP INFRASTRUCTURE they destroyed a building and made it into a stone and gravel war zone along with blind doors that open straight into main walk ways hitting you in the face AND GODDAM FRUIT GETTING THROWN OUT OF CLASSROOMS FROM THE SECOND FLOOR I've been told I'm not doing good enough when I haven't been taught what I needed to learn and THE TEACHER GETS MAD AT ME FOR THAT WE HAD A ASSEMBLY AND ANYONE WHO DIDN'T HAVE THEIR BLAZERS OF STUPID ITCHY HEAVY BRIGHT RED EYE SORE JERSEYS GOT KEPT IN THE HALL FOYER FOR TEN MINUTES INTO OUR LUNCH WITHOUT ANY WARNING AFTER THEY SAID WE ONLY HAD TO WEAR THEM IN WINTER AND THEY WOULD TELL US WHEN WE HAS TO START WEARING THEM THEY NEVER DID INSTEAD THEY STOLE HALF OUR LUNCH TIME BECAUSE SOME SPECIAL NEEDS KID WAS THROWING A TANTRUM AND WE COULD FAIR HIM SCREAMING SO LOUD PEOPLE COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING IT WAS COMPLETELY UNFAIR THE ROOMS ARE HORRIFIC YOU'VE HEARD ENOUGH ABOUT THE BATHROOMS WHAT ABOUT THE CLASSROOMS WITH THE HOLES IN THE CEILINGS RANDOM STAINS NOT EVEN THE TEACHERS KNOW HOW THEY GET THERE DRIED TOILET PAPER STUCK EVERYWHERE A COMPLETE UNUSED EYE SAW BUILDING THE AV THEATER ALONG WITH A NEW BROKEN WINDOW EVERY DAY

    Kvc is 5he worst school

    The teachers never lieten to the students and what they have to say and when 2 kids get in a fight the one that didn't want to fight or didn't start it gets in trouble. Their bathrooms for the girls are horrible and very bad too the point where I don't want to do my business in it.Their teachers are mean and rude and the uniform is super ugly and expensive.

    Very Horrid school

    This school is horrible, there has been many many many different times where teachers have sent other students out for no reason. they take no responsibility with the school toilets. It is horrific in there. People vape in there too. the school fails to meet basic necessitates like hand wash and toilet paper then blame the students for ripping the stuff off the walls then refuses to replace the hand basins if they have broken.

    GAY VALLEY COLLEGE

    KVC is not a great school. They do nothing about bullying, vaping, and threatening, ETC. Please take your child somewhere else but here. This school is a living hell, and the teachers and white students are racist to the black people, letting white students call black students the n-word, and teachers being rude, calling black students a monkey just because monkeys and black students are the same colour. I think that this school should be closed down because there are a lot of fights and arguments that occur here. Please help us at this school. Plus, the teachers don't even teach properly, they teach the way they think is the right way, but it's never is. The school lunches are also disgusting and have no taste or flavor. It gave my cousin food poisoning, and she didn't come to school for 3 weeks or more. Please go somewhere else. Thank you for taking ur child somewhere else.

    YOUR SCHOOL STINKS

    There such be an option to do zero stars because this school SUCKS! My cousin who attends this school nearly got jumped. All because the teachers couldn’t do their job and educate students on how to love each other rather than hate. My other cousin ended up passing away because of one of YOUR students. What kind of school allows that to happen. The food is also so bad, people I know that have gone there have gotten food poising! Are you trying to kill these kids!! Also let’s talk about the RACISM that happens at this horrible school. The N-word is being used, specifically by students. Are you guys teaching them racism?!? Students AND TEACHERS are also THREATENING others ESPECIALLY to NON WHITE STUDENTS!? Why are you teaching your students to become bad people?! Where is the peace and love?????????? I AM NOT THRILLED ABOUT THIS. The principal should also go back to school, because I don’t know why you think you’re doing a good job but you’re really not. I have no clue who taught you but they need to be sent to mars or something because this isn’t how you should be acting on earth. Get lost you aliens of teachers. #studentsdeservebetter!!!! #blacklivesmatter #thisschoolstinks #learnhowtoteach

    SHIT SCHOOL

    I used to go to kvc absolute shit hole I was bullied and beaten up by everyon and the teachers are so bad they don't care about your mental health they also don't appreciate LGBTQ students I have friends their and I feel so bad for them. They dont call your parents if your sick or badly hurt and they don't let you express yourself you cant have coloured hair or painted nails or any of that shit. I was even bullied but the teachers told i was stupid and in year 9 to go back to year 2 by my maths...

    Pretty good school

    I'm only into the second year but it's been really good so far, the teachers are pretty nice and only get mean and pissy if it's the students fault. The bathrooms are still pretty bad as usual and they had to remove the damn mirror in the jr block bathrooms (I forgot the block letter) but it's been good overall

    Could we even call this place a school?

    Disregard for mental health, racism and homophobia, students have bought weapons onto premises on multiple occasions, though some staff members may be nice, there are also many that make this school even worse, save yourself the trouble.

    Kaikorai valley college

    This school is grand, absolutely nothing to complain about, just kidding the Māori class always smells like cat meat or fish or something that’s rank. If you come here, DO NOT Sign up for Māori.

    Don't send your child to kaikorai valley college

    My 12 year old son has ODD has behaviour Issues he has been kicked out of this school last year but was referred back to kaikorai valley college, he had so many support people involved to help we all had a plan in place. This was not followed and my 12 year old only a week ago was stood down over a teacher aid that was for my son but would call my son nasty names. First day back and only a hour into school I was called to pick him up and not to come back till the meeting. We seen the principal and damian who have now put my son against the board when what they done is there fault they did not follow his plan. That principal is nasty and I'm glad he is leaving. They don't ring you and tell you what has gone on to. This school sets child up to fail in my eyes and they just wanted him gone. Well I have removed my son from that shit school and I wouldn't send any of your kids there if they have behaviour issues. Kids a bullied all the time there. Principal is nasty and talks rude. It's his way no matter what you say. Please careful sending your child here please.......

    KVC fucking sucks.

    It is THE worst high school in Dunedin, The toilets are rancid, the teachers, most of them are old pieces of crap, but some of their new teachers are more appreciative.

    absolutely horrible

    blatantly racist language used by the teachers, nothing is taken care of as there is a hole in the boys toilets, obvious favoritism and sexist teachers who treat you like shit yet preach the opposite of what they do 0/10
