Last year I unfortunately attended this school and have finally decided to come out on the horrendous acts committed against me during my time at this hellish establishment.
One of the so called esteemed art teachers would not allow anyone who’s skin tone was too light or dark into the class as it did not suit the aesthetic or colour scheme of the room. She said her acts were not racially motivated despite her fondness of the confederate flag and constant political rants of the so called world saviour ‘Donald J Trump’. Often she would take the students of a more preferable colour and take them to the teacher staffroom for special treatment with a strong disregard for the students left at the classroom. However due to her absence from the classroom students were not singled out for there lower financial situations and inability to afford the overpriced school socks.
I hope this information can help you avoid this hell hole and prevent you or you children from experiencing a similar fate.
THIS IS IN NO WAY A REAL REVIEW IT WAS WRITTEN FOR A SCHOOL PROJECT DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING SERIOUSLY IT IS ALL FICTION.
The school itself is recommendable, but we can only warn everyone not to send their exchange student there because the supervisor responsible for foreign students, Tammy, is simply awful. She is deceitful, sets the students against each other and is not for the students but against them. The rules are becoming increasingly strict and the students are bullied and frightened. It is really a shame that this unique experience that the students are supposed to have is being ruined by such a woman and her unspeakable behavior.
this school is the worst in the entire GC, can’t wear the wrong socks or get a detention. can’t be late or you get a detention. can’t wear the wrong shoes or get a detention. can’t wear more than one earing or get a detention. can’t wear any rings or get a detention. can’t wear any bracelets or get a detention. can’t wear necklaces or get a detention. if you have a religious cross it HAS to be hidden or get told to take it off, if you refuse get a detention. as you can see the school only way of ‘getting to the kids’ is to sit them in a room to do nothing. I would NOT send my kid here under any circumstance. teacher don’t care about their student whatsoever and neither does the principal. their excuse for all these rules to so ‘ you can get into the workplace ‘ yet more than half the school already has jobs and are allowed to wear jewelry AND have tattoos.
do NOT ever send your children here!! Worst school ever, ever since new principal can it has been a living hell. my daughter has been harassed to remove her religious jewelry. She was suspended for wearing the wrong socks. There is a detention for being late to school even just by a few minutes. The teachers are passive aggressive and disgusting behaviour towards the children. My previous child went to the school and was severely bullied although they did not care about her feelings, they only cared about her uniform and her attendance, they did not offer her any counselling or any type of support. when she failed to turn up to school and started wagging, they did not once ever notify me because of this, and just concluded straight to suspensions . Her behaviour was becoming quite abrupt and aggressive, and the school blamed her and not was happening to her. The school is racist, and the principal needs a really big reality check. If you are a person of colour or culture, do not send your child to the school they have something against religion and they are so do not support pride. This school is extremely toxic
this school is absolutely horrible, i used to go there and it made my mental health so bad to the point i wasn’t able to do school for over a year, don’t send ur child here, some teachers are nice others are horrrible. don’t even get me started on the principle.
