teachers do not get together and discuss about the amount of homework and stress the students are getting. Students will break the vents into the bathrooms, students vape in the bathrooms. Quite often there are idiot who think they are the coolest in the school and will beat up anyone for fun or to impress someone. Fights happen in this school between girls
I don’t think any students or parents really care about how the school has a five star green star rating. There are kids here who have health struggles when it comes to heat, and unfortunately turning on the air-con in this school will ruin the schools ecofriendly reputation that no one actually cares about. On top of that, the amount of money that is used to build a new building for the school instead of using that money on broken/old facilities in the existing building is concerning. Students are blessed every day with the nastiest toilets they will ever come across, because god forbid they clean them, ever. I get that some students may dirty them, but that’s a poor excuse to not clean them. Use your piles and piles of money to fix bathroom doors, lockers, soap dispensers, kitchen facilities, the air-conditioning, hire better cleaners and teachers, etc. (The list goes on)
worst school ive ever been to, was physically blocked from getting to my classes by kids, there was a fight club in the boys locker room where kids got obliterated, i saw kids pee on lockers for no reason, food is bad and very overpriced.

by the end of my time there (end of year 8) i was attending less then 10 days per term, school threatened to get police involved after i drew on a wall with a whiteboard marker, teachers dont know how to do their job, school had a single social worker for 1,500~ kids, not a single bathroom door locked so everyone always had to knock, at one point teachers cared more about me staring out the window then my education there (YES, they had a whole meeting with me about LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW.), unless your kid is a white, straight, cisgender, neurotypical kid, do NOT send your kids here whatsoever by any means possible, PLEASE look at adelaide high as an option instead of this GODawful facility, as a former student, PLEASE do not go to this school, i beg

As a student who goes to this school, I find the unisex toilets revolting. People at this school I guess cannot aim for the actual toilet, so instead they decide to take a piss on the ground and sinks or just poop not flush and smear it on the walls. Another issue here are the teachers, only a handful I can think of are actually teaching and doing what a normal teacher should be doing , the rest are just wild, rude and immature. I truely don’t suggest going to this school to revive a well enough education, the main thing abhs focus’s on are them gays. The amount on lgbt clubs and shenanigans to do with that compared to things that actually help students learn is insanely high. And for the like very smart kids, The school couldn’t care less about them, their only priority is to just suspend the “bad students” without even properly talking to them about what they did first or resolving the problem. Also there have been so many incidents where teachers have yelled at a child saying some nasty stuff disrespecting a student and whenever you try to report it, the teacher is never in the wrong and it’s you that gets talked to. I know the school looks eye catching depending on its location and what it’s surrounded by, but the school itself is disgusting. And can we just sit here for a minute and talk about how that one kid got stabbed here? The kids are bad the teachers are bad the education is bad. Don’t send your kids here people.
As a year 7 who started 14 weeks ago I have already made so many friends with the kids and teachers. It is so easy to feel like you belong here. If I have any kids I would hope they will go here:)
