Whangarei Girls' High School

Love it great best school ever

I came to this school to study abroad, but I was left alone without any instructions in class, and I was not allowed to be included in the discussion circle at the discussion session of the whole class. Some teachers sing strange songs loudly during class, so I don't think it's a good environment for learning. I also heard from a friend that some students were cursed when they passed each other. Even though they are actively accepting international students, I think this response is terrible. In addition, the response from the teacher in charge of international students was not good, and there was a lack of planning that the statements, proposals, and details of the event that did not consider our feelings at all were finally sent the night before. Ta. Even if you say you don't like an event that has nothing to do with your studies, you will be forced to post the photos you took on the official Instagram account without any permission. Despite the fact that we have paid a lot of money, we have made a series of mistakes that will not hinder our expectations and have been looking forward to many times. It can be said that paying a lot of money to come to this school is a waste of time and money.

This is the kind of school that harbours kids who will be working at McDonald’s in ten years time with kids hanging off their shopping cart. The whole system here is pretty messed up and they don’t do anything to prevent bullying or physical violence. I myself and my family members have been here and haven’t had the most “pleasant” experiences ourselves. Some good teachers but nothing done to prevent bullying as mentioned and no discipline set up for kids who bully and harass other kids. All the year nines vape in the toilets like homeless people and have no respect for anybody other than themselves and think they’re tough shit when in reality they’re just pretending to be. Passed this school and made ncea level 2 and 3 but was left with the biggest mental strain of my life. Battling mental health issues whilst having to prioritise education, and they couldn’t give two shits about how you feel and your background, it’s all about numbers and statistics. They continuously cover up the dirt they have on this school but if you’ve been here you know and kudos to the kids that still do, goodluck.

stupid stupid stupid place, make me wanna die. give mi my phon.

This school is really bad fr fr

Honestly this school is just plain awful. The teachers do nothing to stop bullies, all they care about is giving you all the homework in the world & what color your socks are. Faculty does not care about their students mental health and in turn my High School experience is just ugly

It is a pretty horrible school, teachers treat the kids badly and they treat us like we are children

Girls high taught me a lot but nothing of which I needed in the real world. I was often picked on by teachers when they would demand an answer in front of the class and when I couldn’t answer it I was pretty much shamed by my teacher. My maths teacher had split our groups into what she called the “dumb table” the “trainable table” and the “smart table” Girls high is not a good school, you don’t discipline bad behaviour, you don’t stop bulling, you don’t stop teachers fat shaming or picking on kids. My high school experience was awful and I do not recommend whangarei girls high school.

This school is just just awful. Zero opportunities, and not only that, teachers will always get in the way of students who are trying to succeed academically. Students who attend here are plain rude, disrespectful, and disgusting, they spit gum all over the floor grounds, vape in the bathrooms and swear at teachers and even younger students. This school is just disgusting, words can not describe how disgusting this school is, please do not come here, it is disgusting and will ruin your entire high school journey.

Students do not get treated equally and with the same respect as students who for instance and much more academically smart. Have come across teachers who will change your life for the better and you’ll never will be able to repay them for Their help. But yet again the majority of the teachers at this school quite frankly don’t care about you very much they just want to get paid and the day over with, some will speak to you as if your 10 when your nearly 18 and it is belittling and immature, some have no respect for some students privacy with their home life. We have a girls working for girls day and they take $20 from your pay that you worked out of school for to donate to the school for things such as a new area for winter eating or new outside tables or more water fountains or a walkway to the health block. We have not seen any of this money been used for what we asked it to be used for. It’s a total sham and the principal is never there so I don’t think she even needs to come in anymore. The best teacher is Mrs Moore’s best teacher ever so sad to see her leave and the worst, dean Mrs Cooper and Mrs Werder, the level of respect for you is a 0 and they both look disgusting and smell weird, it’s okay cause it goes with their immature and rude behaviour, if you want your daughter to attend to this school do not be surprised if she gets fed up with the teachers rudeness or that she’s behind because their not doing their job, because your daughter is right it’s not a healthy school for your overall well-being

terrible school, was extremely detrimental to my mental health wouldn’t recommend at all. senior staff were not helpful in resolving issues ie bullying even tho they say they have a zero tolerance. staff focused on the unimportant things ie wrong colour socks, more than one ear piercing

swag but stupid teachers don’t understand anything

Teachers are really good, great learning environment. Students are helped individually to achieve their goals.

I dont enjoy it, some of the students are mean
