Orewa College

This is a really bad school. There are a lot of bullies, and people are toxic. The teachers are very rude and don't really care about the students. People spread rumors, and it destroys people's mental health. I hate this school!

stay away from miss Franklin and miss Flintoff and this school sucks! DO NOT GO THERE

I don't even go here but according to the reviews, this is a crap school. My friend used to go and got hit with a metal water bottle when trying to go to the bathroom. If Your son is a creep, send him here he will fit right in.

this school is so bad don't send your kids here

please no go student bad no good would you rather watch a treegrow or a neegrow

The school is horrible, just today I was threatened with being jumped because I had a pretty standard watch, most of the people vape, I have seen many people vape in and out of class and the teachers just don't do anything even though you can smell it from Africa. Fights happen frequently and the bullying is insane! If you try to make an appointment with the guidance team (emailing them) it takes 1 to 4 weeks to respond oh and they say it is confidential but no matter the subject you talk to them about they just email your parents anyway even though we aren't adults we should at least have some basic privacy. Last year it was a common thing for people to go around popping people's bike tyres. That is just stupid. The teachers are crap apart from the select minority, most teachers are mean and don't really care. But some teachers do let you eat in class so at least it's not all bad. At the assembly, they make you stand up just for the senior leadership and dean and whatnot I get it for like the prime minister but, this is just excessive. Some of the education is good but otherwise, it is just sht. The school has made changes to the timetable for 3 years in a row JUST STICK TO ONE TIMETABLE FORMAT! Like why is ILT in the middle of the day rather than in form time. The students who perform better academically and the students who do really well in sports like rugby are the teacher's favourites and are treated superiorly to the regular performing students. I know this because I perform well in my sport and my academics. The fake hood rats and fake eshays will jump you or threaten you and it sucks going around with the subconscious thought that you may get beaten up today as it just lingers over your head. The school cares more about reputation and grades than the student's well-being, this may not be true for the minority of teachers like I said but the school in general sucks. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE! oh, and the teachers tell you off for stupid reasons like I got an imposition (writing upwards of 1000 words by hand) for not doing my work well I was sick, I had no access to my book I needed to read to do the work on as that was at school, it also cost money to read it online so I was stuck with no options, and some of them make you feel stupid and belittle you. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS TO OREWA COLLEGE!!!

Hi, student of Orewa college here. It’s a good school if ya get with the right people. Otherwise North Korea is a better option.

I highly recomed this school so fun so much opportunities to take on like going to Egypt as a social studies trip going to see old people and soooooooooooooooooo much more to explore teacher are amazing and lots of amazing memories to be stored in you bod on the bad side is WATCH OUT FOR PEOPLE SMOKING go find a teach and tell them imedilty

This school is AMAZING. It sucks.

I'm sitting here right now in my class, supposed to be working on I.L.T but then I realised how much this school SUCKS. Last year when I was in year 7 I had this teacher, she would emotionally abuse kids into being smart. When people were too scared to do a presentation -- like they would cry and sht -- the teacher would yell at them for being weak or force them to do it in front of the class whilst they're crying their eyes out. One time there was this fight on the field last year, no one got told off, non of the teachers cared but I got a DETENTION for calling someone a snitch? Plus half of the male teachers a pervs and half of the female teachers are REALLY strict. I'm only year 8 and I want to finish DON'T SEND KIDS HERE, THE ONLY GOOD THINGS ARE MY FRIENDS

Do not go here. Teacher made a innopropriate comment saying her cheeks claps when she walks. Then she showed a visual representation of it to me. #whangabetter #cancelorewacollege

This school seems horrendously horrible, one of my friends sister had a stalker at this school based on the reviews this is one of many bad colleges to attend. I'm a student at a nearer school to this and it seems dreadful, now at this point I don't understand why my close friend is moving to this school they should've stayed at my school not move to Orewa College but I do understand why they want to move but personally my college is really not even that bad aside from the students and some teachers in my opinion most of the teachers are actually really really nice. Anyways DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE ?️?️?️?️?️ look at the reviews and go to another school.

ALOT TO READ!: I hated this school when i first started and i still do in my last year... when i was in y7, I had to have an Incorrect Uniform Pass for my taonga. My mother had to book an appointment with the previous principal so i could have permission TO HAVE this "Permanent pass". I'd also get side-eye by two teachers in y7 because they would try to catch me not having that pass on me. in y8 i got into a fight with another girl who was throwing racial slurs at me it ended with me getting most of the blame and she got away with it as well as being pitied by most of the teaching staff. i got into the most fights this year because the teachers never did anything and it ended with me having to stick up for myself. y9 was by far the BEST year at this school, I only have good memories cause of my friends and the only year where i had the most fun... y10 everyone in my year level was treated like a lab rat with us having 5 subjects (periods) a day and with 3 of those subjects we had 6 classes. i only had te reo once a week that year, 2 science and 2 maths etc. That year recked my mental health, my friends' mental friends and my teachers as they all left the school because of that year. y11 was starting to get a bit better but a few of my teachers were racist as one would pick on all the brown kids in the class, and call me dumb out loud when i couldn't sound out a word. basically degraded the whole class when we didnt know what a metaphor was instead of teaching us what it is. another teacher would sneak up on me and clap/yell in my ear "to see if im doing work" That year i got PTSD to the point i never showed up to class and had a breakdown even just sitting there... as someone who has gone to this school for 7 years DO NOT SEND YOUR KID HERE, i cried almost every day, even walking/busing here because of how this school treated me, even Westlake is better than here. they focus on issues that aren't that important like the uniform and when we are "failing" in school they put the entire blame on us and say we won't amount to anything.

poo school poooooooooooooo scholl hate hate hate don't come here

Orewa College has integrated systems designed to bring down the student's learning capabilities. One of the teachers. forced Lies after lies on us students throughout my entire learning period. Forced to do 3 subjects in one during year 9, Mai time and Ako time which destroyed my learning. The school somehow keeps getting worse and worse, the teachers a predominantly useless with many relying on slides made years ago by former teachers. The learning opportunities are poor and not done properly. Since 2020 they have constantly changed the system and criteria. Constant bullying/ Vaping. Eshays run rife doing what they want due to a lack of punishment and discipline. Bathrooms are constantly being locked due to vandalism and other reasonings. The poor grounds keepers have to deal with constant floodings fecal matter all over the floor and other appalling things seen in the bathrooms, due to the lack of discipline. Orewa college does not promote learning it teaches kids to be a slave to society with no real thinking involved in doing the tasks. Students are not set up in any way for NCEA causing many to drop out. Recently a wellbeing survey was sent out to students. We were told by our teachers that it was to be confidential, however we were lied to. I was called up to the guidance councilor as I had answered completely honestly, they lied to all of us and many were called up to the guidance councilor. This will be the last time I and most people in my year will do a survey by the school as the corruption is shown in the fact that we were blatantly lied to. The system is flawed and Orewa College is the forefront for this flawed system. Do not send your kids here.

This school is the worst school I’ve been to. A lot of teachers are mean and rude plus there’s people being racist like this happens to everyday to me some mf calls people including me something bad and making people feel unsafe. 100% NOT RECOMMENDED YOU’LL GET BULLIED BY PEOPLE INCLUDING THE TEACHERS

Mrs G____n Is not letting us play rugby even when we had supervision and another teacher is told us that we can with supervision and that teacher Mr G_____S over rides her

Worst school I’ve ever been to, teachers are mid students suck, fuck orewa college.
