Massive Balls
This teacher who had really big balls came up to me and asked me for some special "services" to be done for him.

More than meets the eye!
Extremely good school, NCEA is very strong. My 2 kids the kids love going there, it's a friendly environment, excited to learn, and a bit of freedom to become independent. There is a lot of good stuff about the school even if people say it's a bad school in east auckland I promise. Go for the open day and see the school, it's amazing how fast kids can get comfortable. Keep it up ormi!

I’m not uneducated I’m just a child
This school was overall decent but children vape and do freaky stuff, the cafe is overpriced and whenever I go to the reception to get some food I’m. A child and I forget to get food sometimes they give me a flipping bar or I don’t even know what and I tell them I can’t eat chicken and they ask if I want chicken noodles… BSFR but the school overall is decent some of the teachers here are honestly changing my life for the better oh and some teachers.

OSC review
They handle conflict amongst students horribly and often misjudge situations and give punishments to the wrong students. Cafeteria food is so overpriced. Some teachers are kind and funny and great teachers but others not so much.

learnt nothing. unsafe.
i havent been to many schools but this is by far the worst. a significant downgrade from OJC which i thought would be difficult. i dont think i have learnt a single thing while here to be honest. i also don’t think the school is very good from a safety standpoint either. i have several safety concerns like the heavy stuff hanging from the ceiling and the fact that i think it would be impossible to escape a fire if you were wheelchair bound on the top floor.

Great school, highly recommend
This is going to sound fake coming from a student lol but I genuinely love OSC. Most of the staff (both teaching & non teaching) genuinely care about their students. They treat us like actual young adults and not like children. I also love how diverse the school is, not only in terms of culture but also beliefs and upbringing. It’s the perfect balance between discipline and chill. I’m in university now and I can honestly say that OSC’s iTimes & independent learning styles have made the transition easier. It taught me to manage my time, take ownership of my studies, AND most importantly, how to ask for help when you need it. I highly recommend!

OSC Review I guess
All of the teachers I've had have been incredibly helpful and kind. The work can be stressful at times but I think that's just high school in general.
