⭐☆☆☆☆ Papamoa College has been a deeply disappointing experience for our family. While the school promotes progressive values and a commitment to student wellbeing, our lived reality has been the complete opposite. Our daughter has endured ongoing bullying—verbal, emotional, and social—both in and outside the classroom. Despite following every formal process and raising concerns with multiple levels of leadership, including the principal, Board of Trustees, and Ministry of Education, the school has failed to provide consistent or meaningful protection. The pastoral responses feel tokenistic at best. Staff often deny issues unless they are directly witnessed by a teacher, which makes it impossible for covert or insidious bullying to be taken seriously. Students are expected to manage their own safety while adults either look away or shift blame. Restorative meetings are pushed even when a child feels unsafe, and accountability is scarce. To make matters worse, the leadership appears dismissive, defensive, and unwilling to critically reflect on their policies. When bullying persists, the school leans on process over protection, leaving vulnerable students to fend for themselves. If you're considering Papamoa College for your child, I strongly urge you to ask about their actual response record to bullying, not just their written policies. From our experience, it’s not a safe or supportive environment for every child.

When I was a teen, I went to this school and it was perfect. The students are nice, the teachers care about you. so overall, this school is great. A+++

This school has opened many opportunities for me, I would highly recommend going here as you receive lots of support with your decisions

love this school and i would recomend if you want your child to go to this school so many opportunity

i hate this school it sucks so much it could jump in a pit and no one would care teachers are so bad espicialy the new associate princpal hes so annoying and theres only like 4 good teachers thats it putin please nuke the school

mate when i tell u do not send ur kids to this school i’m being dead shit. one of the most insanely strict school for no bloody reason, 4th day in and they’ve probably sent more than half the school home or stood them down for having the wrong bloody socks or shoes and mate the teachers don’t even teach they just look out for wrong uniforms or bloody nose piercings and omg don’t even get me started on the size of the school, 88 students in 1 classroom. MATE

I love how there are many classes to choose from and so many opportunities that the school offers and teachers who will help you. Teachers are good at teaching I'd say (Not all of them!). Teachers are pretty moody but i guess it's like that at all schools. It's a bit hard to write a reveiw as it's the school I've been to the longest so it's hard to compare it to anything else. Seems to be alot of fights, I hear about them, see them online and in person. Also there is alot of rubbish everywhere and that part sucks. Also yucky as toilets. I recommend it for active people who want to work hard and work with others.

Bad school. Went here for years and isnt good. The environment is noisy so very hard to focus on school work because of the commons instead of classrooms. The teachers SUCK and do not teach you ANYTHING apart from a few good teachers. I had to teach myself through youtube videos ALOT of the time. The principal does not care about his students education, only about publicity. Also teachers get away with many things that they shouldn’t because they are teachers. Students aren’t great either. School is VERY over crowded (not enough resources e.g computers for students, not even enough seats for everyone to sit down while they learn, 40-50 students in some classes with 1 teacher, making learning very difficult) Don’t send your kids here.

Teachers are invading your personal life and make students uncomfortable majority of the time. It's a horrible work environment and the entire school is full of racist, homophobic students and teachers.

I studied here for 4 years. The teachers are terrible at their jobs, I barely learnt anything there and didn't feel any support. As for the students, lots of bullying, racism, sexism, sexual harassment, rape, etc and the teachers don't do anything about it. I got in to trouble for holding hands with a boy but when I was groped in front of 3 teachers none of them cared. The study environment isn't good either. Instead of classrooms there are commons which are noisy and difficult to learn in. Worse school experience ever.

Very bad environment for learning

Racism, bullying, go to mount college.
