    Horrible experience!

    Horrible school! The teachers do not care about your mental health, all they care about is your grades. Half the teachers are horrible people who will refer you for no fucking reason. They don’t care about your mental health or how you’re doing at home, in fact, they only care about themselves. This school ruined me. No one deserves to go here. They ruined my mental health, and they don’t care. I try to explain but the deans just say it’s all my fault. I hate this school.

    Wouldnt personally recommend

    Absolutely horrific, students are horrible, school treats failing students as if they are completely worthless, fights happen often (not as much as of writing this)

    There is racism, suicide, deaths, and bullying (that the school does nothing about) and the school has done nothing to ensure our safety hence the two officer cars patrolling around our school each week. all of our relief teachers and some of our normal teachers are put in subjects that they don't know how to teach therefore making it harder for kids to learn. there was a post dating back to 2019 where a woman was trying to reach out for help from the school about bullying and there is a video the year 12 girl posted of one of the staff members dismissing the problem and 4 years later still nothing has changed the only thing that happened was she was told to stay home "for her safety" and as far as we know the bullies had no punishment as there was nothing in the stuff statement that had shared the Bullys leading us to believe there was no punishments put in place here is the website https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/education/112908270/student-who-complained-about-bullying-told-to-stay-home-for-safety

    HELL NO

    I highly do NOT recommend this school to anyone. Constant suicides, people trying to stab others, vaping, drugs, fights. Even half the teachers are horrible, making kids cry. You probably won’t listen to this one bad review but God, do not send your kids to this school! It has ruined so many of my friends mental health. You want your kid to start counselling? Then go ahead and push them of the edge at this school. The learning is ok, some teachers don’t really help and some classes were so b...

    RHS Student Review

    What you put in is what you get out. Teachers have your best interests in mind but you have just got to show willingness to learn and drive to further your intellectual ability. Modern Learning in the HUB is not a great idea I feel as students are encouraged to drift off task as the teacher to student ratio is not very good.

    relatively good but could be better

    I attended RHS for all 5 years of my secondary schooling. It had its good days and it’s bad, but overall gave me a pretty good High School experience. I think the open plan learning was the most horrible idea, so it’s nice to hear that they’re keeping the older ones in the open plan building now. The arts programme could do with some serious work and funding. However I have heard through the grapevine that there is now many more options coming in if you’re not academic or sporty. Uniform rules w...

    Dude! Figure this stuff out o your own...

    You see, that is your problem....there is no such thing as northern and southern hemispheres...there is only a flat plane. You keep using hemisphere...as if that means something...you should be saying above the equator and below the equator....on our flat plane earth....there is only one POLE and it is the NORTH MAGNETIC NORTH POLE! If the earth were a ball, you would possible be correct...but the governments of the world will never tell you the truth about the south....as I mentioned before, sailors used to get off course sailing the seas past the equator....it is very well known that sailors who had sailed for years would get off course while sailing down there....but you don't want to kn0ow the truth, because you have be programmed to say and think what they want you to think...I've been right where you are....and I fought tooth and nail against what I am saying now....it took years of research, but I finally came to the truth....the stars are fixed in the sky, the earth is a flat plane, the sun and the moon circle around the flat earth, and the truth, is truth. You just need to open your eyes and ears to see the truth, and hear the truth....I'll pray for you....

    Some things don't change - Former Student

    I attended Rangiora High School over 20 years ago and reading the reviews/comments, it's sad to see it hasn't changed much. Bias teachers, drugs, alcohol, bullying (which is probably still poorly managed) and of course, good old fashion 1st 15 favouritism! Unfortunately if your not in a financial position to send your teen to a private school, then as a parent living within this school zone catchment, you probably have no choice. There were a few great teachers in my time, but poor, disengaged teachers were the norm. I will give RHS marks for consistency.

    Yr 9 point of view(term 2)

    As a current student, I quite like this school. 80% of teachers are really nice to you and actually care how you are feeling about school and life in general. The other 20% of them are either sexist,racist,homophobic,just dont care at all or are just not a very nice person to deal with. So far I've had some very good teachers who genuinely care about you. I've only gave 1 bad teacher so far. (Yr 9) The farm is very cool (sherp and beef) And you learn heaps. The class rooms are quite nice, most of them have heaters in for winter. Lots of subjects to choose from! As long as you respect your teachers, most of them will respect you back. Although there are staff who will be happy to talk to you if you are mentally unhappy/unstable, it can be hard to approach and ask for help. I havent encountered much bullying yet (1 time (still exists)) One thing that really sticks out in this school is how many kids have vapes... They are confiscated if seen, and must be picked up by an adult from the office. Overall I do like this school but would like for it to be a little safer (from bullying) And be a little less vapey. The subjects are really good I often find it quite stressful and have to take day off sometimes. I like but some people and stuff needs to be changed

    Don't send your kid here

    I sent my kid to this school because it's farm program and that's it but the bullying and drung problem is worse that I got told about. The teacher don't give a shit about the students that struggle with learning disabilities and the rainbow community and give a shit about the people that played sport or we're Smart.

    Uniform not learning.

    School could care more about the first 15 and your uniform than you mental health and actual learning. Only got 2 stars because the Ngata house dean tried his best to do what he could but was usually stopped by anyone higher up. Only ever saw the actual principal out of her desk once in my 5 years. Associate principal and one of the deputy's made this place kinda okay. Good luck to anyone else.

    Alright, not the best teaching but it’s still good, punishment system is bad in terms of fairness between students and the convenience of the teacher, uniform is uncomfortable and the flexibility of the uniform is unfair

    If you don't do sport, it's a bad experience

    Rugby players get treated like gods by staff. If you're in the first 15 you pretty much get a free pass to do whatever you want without repercussions. For internals if you miss a deadline, you'll probably fail but they'll let everyone else have an extension because staff is biased. Once I handed in an internal on time and got not achieved, someone else decided to spend an extra week on it without teacher permission and got excellence. Bullying is common here, there's fights all the time. Only positive about the school is the weekly emails from the associate principal.

    Horrible To Queer Students

    not at all lgbtq friendly. if you have a queer child do not send them here. mansfield is particularly bad, a few weeks ago some students threw a JAVELIN into our lgbtq club classroom, almost hitting someone. out of the whole group that did it, 4 people were punished. 4. the mansfield dean cares more about us not sitting on the couches then about a spear being thrown at her students. disgusting.
