Do I have to explain myself or what?
Anywho, this review is gonna be a LONG review. The learning system is poor, there are very little support to students from teachers and lots of staff are either sexist, rude, or highly strict. Your teacher can be your own bully you know? From my perspective, I've only seen like what? Two or three trusted adults in the school. That being my advisor, my counselor, and my drums teacher. I mean, could it really get any worse other than the staff? Yes it can. One thing that really annoys me is the fa...

Rjhs review
The quality of the school is okay and all that, but the learning system is a bit poor. I am a student in rjhs and everything about it makes me want to move, it is quite unfair that year seven and eights aren't allowed to choose their next semester modules. They could be stuck with the modules they hate the most for a few months. Second of all, most of the staff are alright, but the rest can be really strict. Strict teachers can ruin students reputations and mental health. This is all I'll say fo...

Subpar experience
A teacher got reprimanded for making VERY creepy comments at the students. He was my teacher a few years back. Need I saw more? https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360959618/highly-inappropriate-teacher-censured-creepy-and-sexualised-student-comments

very long review (i got mixed thoughts)
ig the school was pretty solid, but the education system is questionable. The modules have a mix of people of all intelligences, which means the special people can sometimes learn with the more intelligent people. Also, if you were to be even slightly smarter than the average person at your age, you wouldn't be learning anything. Some teachers have punching bags to growl at if they were to stop looking at the board for a few seconds, and they also have favourites, whom they let do whatever they want. I once had some people who were the teacher's favourites, and they were allowed to watch Kpop Demon Hunters during class. Some scary teachers also just have this aura of terror around them and will tell you off if you look at them funny. Now, with the bad stuff out of the way, i got good things. The buildings are modern looking and are pretty cool. There may be rubbish, but I don't mind it. I also made a lot of good memories there, and the non-scary teachers are really cool. The other activities that you can pick that are not the core subjects (eg, cooking) are really neat, and I like that. Even though I left this school and I said all those negative things about this school, it was still quite sad to leave this school, since I made so many cool friends there.

FIX THE SHORTS PLEASE!!!!!
Hello I am the son of Bruce Jackson and I am here to share my thoughts about this school, I would say it is pretty good and all but as my humble personality comes to encounter a slight bug in the school which would make it a 5 star rating but what's bugging me is the school shorts they have a zip and a hook that is glued on let me repeat myself A HOOK THAT IS GLUED ON!!! The first time I put that trash on the hook came off and then the button came off it was a disaster we had to spend an extra 100 bux just to fix it we had to add a whole contraption overall the shorts are just horrible and very uncomfortable even all my friends agree and wear the P.E. shorts instead which are much more comfortable please just make normal shorts with no zip or button the P.E. shorts are top notch anyways that is why your so close to a 5 out of 5 stars but since those shorts are trash I cannot give it to you fix the shorts and that 4 will be a 5

horrible school
Rototuna is full of racist sexist teachers, the learning style is horrible (It’s practically impossible to learn in.) They have none to little support for students who are struggling with actual thing ether at home or anywere elce, they pretend to care but they dont .The only upside to Rototuna is it’s modern environment. But that still doesn’t change the fact that it’s hard to learn there its nearly imposible to get anything right and everything is ether not good enough overall its a horrible school and

Poor school
Now first thing is that I'm only a year 7 so dont take this review to seriously, first thing i want to say is the cleanliness, very dirty, gum all over the school, chip packets, and other rubbish on the floor. The cafeteria food is definitely overpriced. 6 dollars for a couple chicken bites.. Anyway, the next thing is the students. Most of them are hood rats, throwing gang signs and acting all tough. There are only few students who are actually kind and not a bully. Now one time I was sitting in...

Mostly negative but some positive review
I had a racist interaction with a teacher during break while the principal ( Fraser Hill) & her were standing side by side. Me & my māori friends were called "a bunch of monkeys" & all we were doing was walking around. I stood up for me & my friends & confronted the teacher.. Infront of Fraser & I was shot down & was told not to speak back. Another incident that I was told were, A teacher who's been at that school for a while now has been touching girls inappropriately. He was caught by a friend of mine holding a girl from the back and lifting her up while holding her in a unprofessional way. He also held his hand on my friends thighs near her crotch.. so many more incidents that had happen but nothing being done about it. Aswell as we had made our own petition for everyone to sign to get him fired for these inappropriate activities he's done but unfortunately it was erased & declined. Nevertheless there are good at this school by all means. The subjects are great the way some of the teachers teach are great aswell & they can be very understanding to some students who can't do some work due to struggling to understand or just need more practice. Most cultural subjects aswell are great. They have alot of sports to choose from, music classes, science/social science etc just the subjects are awesome.

Different from other schools
This school has been a great place for me for the last 4 years. It has taught me independence, self management, individuality and many more things. There are 2 things about the school that I would change: the school is always changing the structure of the timetables/schedules. They have changed them every year in some way, shape or form. The second thing is that the teachers that are higher up (principals, learning leaders etc...) tend to choose who they think the best "leaders" of the school ar...
