    Life as a Rosehillian.

    Some of the teachers are just there to bully kids, honestly. Calling them guinea pigs, stupid, dumb, and saying things like "If you fail this, I'll never look at you the same." like hello? Not even going to attempt to help? just straight to degrading and ridiculing you. Mind you, most of the time, teachers are already expecting you to fail. When you don't understand something and ask for help, they roll their eyes and give snarky remarks. Teachers kiss all the naughty kids' ass while the good ki...

    Horrible staff.

    The current principle and teacher is horrible. The principle she gives me the creeps because she treats the students like infants and forces them into things they don't want to do. The lady who does the Kapa Haka is especially off. Threatening to pubic humiliate exhausted students if they don't dance well enough for her liking. Like she isn't forcing them into it during time where they could be studying. And don't get me started on the budget. There aren't enough toilets or seats outside and t...

    Absolutely horrible.

    Don't send your kids to this school. I'm an autistic student, and am legally allowed my phone. But to the teachers, I'm just a infant who doesn't know any better, and doesn't listen to a thing I say. And it doesn't help that the Principle is on a power trip and treats everyone like primary school kids. All the while buying smart boards while there aren't enough bathrooms, with the bathrooms that are there, always having broken toilet seats, doors, and never any toilet paper or soap. I'm a yea...

    worst school ever.

    Actually not worth. this year is my 4th year at school and after having a good 24 teachers, ive only ever had 3 good teachers, genuinely. half the stalf cant so their job and the head of houses would prefer you wear the correct uniform rather than have a decent education. not to mention the kids there are atrocious behaviour wise. vaping is a massive problem, while it is in all schools, i garuntee you could walk up to someone and ask if they vape and they would. bo worth sending children to.

    A bully's paradise

    The students target anybody who is different, many of the teachers seem to cater to the bullies as though to decrease their involvement with said students. Teachers do not consider the differences between how students learn best. Teachers generally pick and choose how they feel about you from day 1

    No learning

    Too many students disrupting my learning. I feel sorry for the teachers that really want to teach.

    Poor attitude

    The school administration tries to keep everything in house. That is they don't tell you about your child's progress or misbehaviour. Toxic attitude by a good proportion of pupils... Many of whom use false addresses to be "in zone" thus exacerbating the situation which is bad to start with.

    Poor teaching

    Poor teaching... They also do not tell parents the truth about their children or their educational outcomes.

    Rosehill - Crowd Control

    Would not send a dog to this crowd control establishment - school would be pushing it. They do not care at all about the children, treat them like a nuisance. They've already decided the children will fail. Don't be fooled, this school is a complete disaster.

    Terrible School!

    Doesn’t look after students mental health, toxic student culture. Most teachers aren’t supportive. Would never recommend this school to anyone.

    Rosehill College...

    Education is good, people are terrible. Their COVID-19 response has been minimal leaving students with no credits and no way to get them, as well as weeks behind in their knowledge for exams. Not good enough.
