I HHATE THIS PLACE ICL/
the education is incredibly average. the teachers deserve to be chained in the human centipede forever. teachers definitely discriminate towards certian genders/race. A lot of teachers show clear favourautism and are VERY clearly biased. Some of the teachers are actually just horrible at teaching and explaining things. they just use ai / read questions or use really bad analogies to try to explain complicated ideas. Most of the worksheets/presentations we learn are made with AI and they don't...

Sexual misconduct by a teacher.
I'm not an attendee nor teacher but I am concerned at the "soft" response to proven sexual misconduct by a teacher who has now left the school "for personal reasons" when we all know that he accessed (for "personal reasons") pornography on a school laptop, and discretely met a female 15 year old pupil away from the school. The Board and Principal have continued to shield and minimise the offending and justify their response to the reputational harm to this elitist so-called Christian school.

Screw Kingsway
This school sucks do not go there, yes it is a Christian school but the students and teachers there are messed up they are racist, sexist and more. They care more about their reputation than how the kids are and their behaviour. My parents Paid way too much just for me and my siblings to get no education and to get bullied every year. The kids there are drugs addicts and vapers and the teachers just watch porn for fun during class.

dont send ur kids here
for a christen school, it sure is a fucken hell hole. The teachers at KingsWay School care more about their reputation than their students mental health. The way that the teachers respond and act to certain situation's is extremely questionable. When I was a student there, I not only felt unsafe, but vastly judged by the teachers and how they proceeded things. Their protocol and school policy needs to change. Please do NOT send your kids here. Thank you.

not the best school, but not the worst
there are some teachers that just don’t care about your education. when i was in counselling there, they told my dean what i was saying in counselling and then the dean told all my teachers. they are very bias when it comes to giving out opportunities especially when it comes to senior school and they definitely have favourites. they do pass on lots of different options for sports, and other extra curricular activities and do have some amazing teaching who have really made the place so much better.

RACISTS
High Management are Racists so if you are not from New Zealand I suggest you save your trouble because life for your children will not be like what The Country of New Zealand respects and endorses

Average :/
Some teachers are really nice. Like actually will give you such good advice and care for you so much. Some teachers aren't that great. Hypocritical and very biased when it comes to students. Most of them are bald and south African as well, many students presume that the principal is looking for people who fit that criteria not actually good teachers. The Primary school is really good though, the teachers are lovely and the facilities are great. The past principal for middle school was awesome and so was middle school until he left and Some other person got put in charge. Just be careful education-wise as they won't teach evolution in class which is necessary to know even if you don't believe it. Personally, school system sucks, but few teachers and students don't. School system doesn't care if kid is suicidal and thinks they fake it, but those few teachers and kids really care for them.

My son is goingto Kingsway
I know some teachers are disappointing but I and my husband decided to move to Kingsway from Hxbxxxville public school cause there my child was very discouraged by some tutors and he and teachers didn't really figure out what their school is trying to do in the class- two teachers teaching different subjects in one class.etc .... We preferred more traditional way of teaching style and we considered to move to private school but our budgets were limited. Anyway Kingsway was not that expensiv...

Worst school in NZ?
Before I went to this school I was a peaceful young man as my parents would say. after one year they call me an absolute savage. I keep swearing, is quick to anger, violent, yelling and more. I don't know what this school has done to me. Students vape in the bathrooms and on the bus sometimes during class, a teacher was caught watching pornography during class, the school asks you to open your phone and show them your messages with other people and your gallery, the bathroom smells like ass, there was a huge dick on the field when I first arrived, the teachers are sometimes racist and put hate towards asian students, when you try use the bathrooms students throw rocks while you are urinating or pooping and the school just gives me sketchy vibes. Horrible school do not go.

kingsway School>WW2 Concentration Camps
Please just don’t even think about sending your kids here. School is horrible for many reasons. Some Teachers are just awful. Bathrooms are gonna cause mould and fungus to grow soon. Various breaches of health and safety. Some human rights breached daily. Amnesty international needs to get involved. Donations raised from events and fundraisers are used to buy TV screens to show notices which will certainly be broken in a few weeks. Constantly buy unnecessary things with ‘donations’ received from...

I DO NOT recommend this school
The principle, some teachers, and head of schools are power hungry, extremely authoritarian and disciplinary, and do not listen to or care about the parent or child. The principle preaches a Christian message but does NOT act accordingly when he thinks people can’t see him- very hypocritical and gives families no assurance that they will be treated fairly, kindly, and in accordance to a Christian attitude. The principle BREAKS THE LAW and is not a kind, good person. His interests lie in protecting himself, creating and maintaining a friendly, charismatic, and FAKE image, and escaping responsibility from abiding with the law.

I DO NOT recommend this school
This school has power hungry people in positions of authority, this includes some of the teachers and heads of schools, and especially the principle. They preach a Christian message to your face but handle conflict and problems very unfairly, unkindly, and in a non-Christian manner - making them rather hypocritical. The principle is NOT law-abiding as he has broken the law badly, causing a lot of damage. The school cares about its teachers more than the students well-being and doesn’t try to find out the whole story before making very disciplinary authoritarian punishments. Principle is two-faced, making him and the entire school untrustworthy.

disgusting
horrible at handling bullying, care more about a girl wearing the wrong earrings than someone being bullied to the point of suicidal thoughts

Horrible
if you don’t want your children to end up on antidepressants don’t send them here

Pretty bad in general
My child says the teachers are bad and mostly care about their uniform more than education

Terrible and disgusted
I feel very disgusted and disappointed in what this schools values are! This school is very liberal and encourages students to follow the same in the box curriculum. This school teachers no life skills! I do not recommend this school to anyone!
