    Byeeeee

    I’m a Year 11 this year and my classes actually suck so bad. Like are they lowkey trying to test my social skills or something?? ?? I don’t even know almost anyone in these classes and it’s stressing me out already. Why would they do this to me bro, WHY ? I’m about to walk in there like a stranger NPC, trying to survive. School hasn’t even properly started and I’m already feeling socially cooked

    Boring school

    So small, so boring, so strict, the buildings needs to be renewed.

    2025 Graduation

    School year is basically over for seniors, especially those graduating this year. But due to actions of graduating students of prior years, the graduation of 2025 is being hosted in the school hall, instead of La Vida. Not only has that changed, but many of the graduating student will not be able to attend their own graduation, due to poor management of sending out invitations with coherent information. The school has failed to mention that student have to RSVP as well, and not just their parent...

    so unorganized

    the most unorganized school I've ever attended. the class of 2025 nearly didn't have a graduation or leavers assembly, now not all the year 13 leavers are even allowed to attend. not to mention this year pink shirt day was said to be "not I important enough" to celebrate it.

    This school is okay, It’s just some of the teachers aren’t that great nor the students. Teachers don’t care if students are on their phone during class and if you’re getting bullied or made fun of then the only thing the teachers will tell you is “Your bullies have a hard time at home,” and don’t do anything else. Not to mention it’s an only the second week and we’re already doing about six or seven projects all in different subjects and we’re expected to finish them in a short amount of time. A...

    Good school

    Most teachers are good and genuinely want to help you pass your exams. However, some teachers don't teach well and spend too long on one topic. There was one teacher that whenever you wrote something which seemed "too high level" they would assume you plagiarised it.

    DONT GO HERE

    I got bullied. Every. Single. Day. and got told to kill myself infront of teachers and no teachers care at all, they even joined in and made fun of me. I had to yell at another classmate for illegally recording a tiktok in the changing rooms and nothing was done about that. There were teachers who got uncomfortably close to students, one who even touched and made sexual comment/jokes to students. My english teacher called me lazy and didn't consisder the fact I have learning disablities and nee...

    Don't go to this school

    Worst 3 years of my life. Do not go to this school at all.everyday I turned up and got treated disgustingly bad an treated like dirt. Told I was never going to be anything and and everyone one in my family is trash and a problem to society. Best thing I ever did was not waist anymore time at this school. I came there in 2016 and left in 2018, now 2022 I am a fully qualified biological agrculture researcher on $1900.00 a week. No Thanks to riccarton ?
