Hopeful
Lets hope the new principal coming in next year actually does her job and turns this school around, unlike the current principal who doesn't care about the school or its' students.

it's trying
As one of the students myself I can say with full certainty that the school is not all to good.

Hindsight
It is difficult to write a review for this school. I am limited by the words and language we are allowed to use on this site. The bullying is discusting, as is the response of the school when it is bought to the attention of the management team. I'm sure there must be good teachers there, unfortunately, I met only one, the drama teacher. I should have taken note when prior to sending children there I was told the kids struggle to know what the principal looks like as he spends more time at the golf course. My experience with the school is from approximately 4 years ago, based on local Facebook page comments I doubt it has improved. Good luck to the kids sent their and the local community. This school does not serve you in a way that it is reasonably expected to. This is my own opinion based on my experience with this school and things I have witnessed at this school, I have no way to know if it has improved.
