Warning! Do not go to this school
This school is horrible, the teacher favorites "popular" students, bullying is so bad students don't care, there's so many students and the school needs to be zoned. Most students don't appreciate the school lunches and throws it around, the school don't care about kids mental health only having two counsellors. The school cares more about sports than school work.

Please do not let your kid go to school here
This school is definitely not the best. There is so many reasons why that I could list but I'll stick to the worst. First bullying, everyone in this school has experince bullying or harassment from other students, and if there is a chance that the bullies get in trouble they wouldn't get a harsh punishment and they wouldn't care knowing that sometimes they can get away with it. Second is how much students they are, there's too many and it's annoying, the halls are crowded and people stand or w...

WORST SCHOOL EVER!! BAD FOR A CHILD'S MENTAL HEALTH
Bullying is condoned at this school. The bullies get away with their bullying ways. Some of the teachers are bullies as well. This is an unfair school. They don't punish students accordingly, that's why they continue to bully and harrass other students. Once a rumour starts there, most of the students get involved (to fit in, I guess). They go along with it and can't think for themselves. Just a horrible school. If your child is attending this school and getting bullied, please check on them always, make sure their mental health is ok.

Tuakau College review.
This school is highly racist, with low quality courses, buildings falling apart, and uniform that cares about uniformity than student opinions. There are also many cases of theft inside the school.

Enjoying my time at this school
Awesome school so far. As a new student, the teachers have made me feel welcome. I got into all of my chosen subjects and looking forward to joining a sports team soon.

Terrible school
I dropped out of this school in 2019 and I can easily say I learnt next to nothing in my time there. Students behaviour is out of control and teachers could never control their students. Never learnt a single thing in Math and science as the teachers were total push overs and unable to control their students. In my last year I ditched every day with little to no consequences and my punishment for fighting was to sit across the hall from her for a week next to the deans office where we just continued to fight. School is very divided and a lot of bullying goes on. Councillors was terrible offering no support apart from calling my parents. School was more worried about how there students looked than getting an education. I would not send your kids here, some of the worst years of my life and I have had to further my high school education outside of high school. There were also stuff all extra curricular activities and only a hand full of tech classes.

student
the school cares more about the colour of your socks than your education. they’ve taken phones and music (headphones, airpods) away this year but they don’t realise that people use that as their coping mechanisms and that it helps people to learn. they are making things 100 times harder than it actually needs to be. most of the staff are alright but “gym shorts” are always an issue for the girls. “wear longer shorts” when their shorts are already long enough, and the teachers say it’s so they do...

Avoid this school
this school is complete garbage. the buildings are falling apart. school uniform is more important than students mental health and wellbeing, and detentions are given out for having one more earring than the designated allowance in the uniform policy. a select few teachers are nice, but theres no guarantee that students will have them each year.

Decent school
School, especially the Dean's do little to nothing about bullying and brush it off or just tell both parties to apologize, there is rarely ever consequences for it. The health classes have asbestos and have been down for demolition for like a decade but they still havent, school uniform policy is bad and unfair but the teachers are good I guess
