Whangarei Boys' High School

Hey, I'm a student here, I think this is a great place for learning, and the incident with karnin wasn't on purpose. The school was just trying to do something fun with their students. Also the teachers here are very nice and help you with anything that's on your mind.

This is an incompetent learning facility run by people incapable of basic decision making skills. The head outdoor education, the principals, vice principal, the BOT all need to be fired instantly. Their lack of commonsense directly ended the life of a student. Do not send your children here if you value their lives.

Harmeats and bully and fighting that somone was saying

Been here since year 9 and i cant say how much i wish i went somewhere else. The culture of the school is horrible as there are fights very often which teachers do not handle well. The toilets are absolutely destroyed to the point teachers stand outside and choose who is allowed to go or not. The vast majority of the teachers have no clue what is going on and can barely teach. The canteens food is pretty sucky and barely ever have anything good available.

No, academic streaming. The sport teams are picked by certain teachers with no trials. Some teachers are really good and others are terrible.

Full of hoodrats. Teachers are pretty average as well. It is what you make it i guess though.

All around bad school - Toilets are destroyed and wouldn't meet any health and safety standards - Fights all the time - Students have to rush and run to the busbay because bus students are not able to leave early to account for bus times and can even sometimes even miss their busses if at the bottom of the hill or if held in by an ignorant teacher - Large wastes of time by adding useless periods (whanau class) - Poor management of funds they can manage afford to print 2 a3 color pages for every student in the school (school reports which could just be done online) and yet they can't manage to even have toilet seats on the toilets they also wasted a large amount of money on an elevator which is not even used by anybody - Students are forced to participate in cultural activities (Maori) which takes up a large amount of student time which could instead be spent learning instead of making the students sad and depressed (this should be optional for those who actually want to do it) - Forced PE in early years making lives harder on those who aren't good with or cannot do sports making lots of students have a hard time mentally and possibly even physically - Poor uniform forces students to wear long annoying scratchy socks all the time and the only pants that are able to be worn are shorts which must be worn all year round from boiling hot to freezing cold - Lack of lunch time activities for non sporty students leaving lots of students just sitting around School is overlooking its budget and needs to rethink its choices
