kids are bullies, staff are even worse. do not send kids here
don't recomend to this gangster teachers school.
for alll the learners that are thinking of going to TNIS I would not recommend to go here as me and my friends had really bad memory throughout my time in this school
I was playing lunch time football with my class playing against the other class and I said I got kicked in the shin and in the head then the horrible teacher (Mr scrooby) said that you deserve it and then I sweared at him and he just took me to the office and he said he never said that but the thing is that I have everdince and witness that heard him say that. i went home crying and told my dad, and then my dad emailed him he just send a long message of absolute bullshit and he said that he said he 'oberserve it' but why didn't he say that when I was in the office. ps when I was in the office he just said I will never ever say that like wtf say it in the office and he is literally lying coz I have witness and he also said I pushing people and a yelling and being mean like the hell stop making up story and say it if it happened and say it in the office.
i always wanted to kill my self going to this school

So far
It’s been pretty great so far going to tnis for me personally my class and my new friend groups it’s been so nice and enjoyable. And I hope it stays this way.
Tnis student review
Honestly, my experience in Tnis was pretty poor. There are lots of bullies and people that threaten you. The education is pretty nice though, but the rest is poor, especially the teachers. They are rude and shout at you often. And they're scary. I don't like this school, from my experience. And they are strict about the school dress code. Mrs. Kerving, Buller, and Mr Dooley are all really really mean. They are not nice. I was greeting the new international kid, and he just shouted at me for not doing my work in food tech, even though I was telling him about food tech because he didn't know what to do. Personally, this is a really garbage school.
Yipppee
Best school years of my life. My teacher was nice, I had good friends. I miss it alll so much
pretty crap
this school was pretty nerve wrecking when you first enrol and its pretty exciting too.
the teachers try to take care of your mental health but they overbear it and send you to the student counsellor if you seem abnormally sad (personal experience).
they try to keep the kids not comparing themselves to others which on paper sounds like a good idea but it just makes them want to compare themselves even more.
the school is also very separated into groups/gangs. the cishet 'DA BOIS' who harass people out and in of school. the girls get separated into sub-categories too. the 'white girls' who are the stereotypical social-media, boy hungry, pick me type. and then we have the talented children and the ones who just dont 'fit it'. some are gifted child burnout.
the teachers are also worse. feels like you're being watched 24/7. there is one teacher who is amazing who is in tech. most of them either self deprecate you. it honestly depends on their learning style.
well if you wanna enrol go ahead but its a pretty below average experience.

what ever you do, do not go to TNIS.
the students at school are incredibly mean but the teachers are even meaner, especially the senior leadership. they care more about the schools reputation then they do about most of their students being suicidal due to the carelessness of everyone around here, even if you do do well academically and or athletically you have to physically and mentally kill yourself to get there, because the teachers are genuinely bullies. you literally learn nothing at this school too, it’s arguably the worst intermediate on the north shore. they don’t listen to parents suggestions either? their child could have a serious need but they don’t care at all. plus the school has the worst bullying problem ever and it never gets sorted out well, the sports teachers are bias as heck and life at tnis just sucks so much it’s unbearable, the teachers are childish and rude and the kids beat eachother up but since the staff are more childish than the students, nothing is ever done about it.
don’t come here, it’s horrible.
PLEASE TAKE THAT ADVICE
