teachers have favourites, takes no action on bullying.
the school is quite good but most of the teachers are bad and don't set boundary's for dumb students. and they also have favourites. most teachers are really bad and don't even do their job they just tell us to do work and just leave the classroom. the variety of options in sports and subject related things are good. the teachers don't discipline the bad kids only the good kids really unfair wanted to throw hands with half the teachers. Oh and Keith Crawford is a bad maths teacher. if you like...

Best for Boys
Great school with a true slice of NZ with students all backgrounds, cultures, and socioeconomic groups. Fantastic, dedicated staff. Performs well above its weight for a decile 6 state school. Gives private schools very strong competition, also schools that have the advantage of a hostel. Strong across all areas from academic, arts, sport, and cultural.

Tauranga boys collage
Bad experience. Teachers are bad, especially my english teacher, schools always trashed, half the time there isn’t even soap in the toliets or locks in the toilet doors.

TBC review
Would have got 5 stars if they added more car parks so I don’t have to park on the grass around people homes Also minus points for making yr 13 wait 6 weeks until we can leave at lunchtime

Up the fortress
Up the fortress. Best school in the world. Dave does an excellent job keeping the place clean and tidy. The toilet aren’t bad if you know what ones to go to. Nearly all the teachers are GC’s and go above and beyond for you. Maybe the canteen is on the pricey side but the canteen lady’s are so nice it makes up for it.

Great school
Great school. Amazing teachers, and newly refurbished toilets. Both for both academics and athletes alike.

Alright school
Very gross toilets best learn to hold it in for 6 hours because the chance the toilet roll is cramed into the bowl is high. To top this off its quite common for the kids to kick open the door when you are in there and perhaps even film you. Almost all the teachers I know are great people that love their work. The school has great variety and opportunities for education. Issues of bullying in the students is frequently seen and rarely fixed. Mental health support is horrible but the school is trying to improve. Extremely expensive canteen foods that are below average.

Meh it’s kinda bad
The school grounds are a bit gross compared to other schools in the region, and the community of boys is heavily toxic
