South Wellington Intermediate

I wasn't taught anything I hadn't already learnt. Some teachers tried their best but were overworked by the lack of competent staff. overall, don't send your child here, you won't really get any learning. onto the students.
With practically no regulation by the teachers, the students got out of hand. vaping, bullying, "scraps", students fighting in the field with other students. not to mention the pregnancy scare with a student who couldn't have been older than thirteen. I could go on, but I don't really need to.
Overall, please don't come here if you want a good education.
Please.
The only reason I am giving this two stars is because there are enough people to "find your people." Still, don't come here.

Horrible school never send you child here if it’s the last thing you do

I come home crying from the bullying at this horrendous school (if u can even call it that) and when I came to my teacher about the problems I was have all she said is “I’ll talk to her” which did absolutely NOTHING and on top of that, I am learning NOTHING + there is no support for my learning whatsoever!!! I HATE THIS SCHOOL!!! DO NOT EVER AND I MEAN NEVER GO TO THIS SCHOOL!!! And if u think u can get away without being bullied thing again u CAN’T!!! I am a nice person in general and quite sensitive for that matter so this school is TERRIBLE 😞 and I don’t say this often BUT… it’s a piece of F***ing S**t!!!

After coming here from a desile 10 school, I found that a lot of the teachers did not care at all about issues that 1 person would have. About Half of the teachers I really liked, and they taught me stuff while also being fun and funny. Pretty much once a week there would be ‘scraps’ where two students would get into a fight and everyone around them would just sit and watch and cheer for whoever they thought would ‘win’ like it was a football game. Also, in the corridors in between classes, multiple people would call others jokingly racist, ableist, sexist or any other horrible names. Aside from that, I would say that swis is a diverse school, that accepts you for whatever cultural background you have. Another thing was the bathrooms, which I know the staff are trying to fix. We constantly have problems about sewage being smeared across the bathroom, rude and unnecessary graffiti, vaping, toilet paper being plastered to the ceiling ect. Despite all this, SWIS has been okay for my education, and I feel like I have made a lot more close friends from diverse backgrounds.
In conclusion, SWIS is definitely great for some people, and not so great for others.

The school is so absolutely amazing all the teachers are nice, the students are polite and the facilities look clean. The school is fairly large and a really social environment with barely any bullying at all and just super friendly.
