Baulkham Hills High School, Baulkham Hills | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

This school has some of the most amazing potato wedges on their canteen menu. This crispy and juicy goodness is available on the menu for only 5 dollars. Crunchy, seasoned, baked and tender and soft on the inside, I love our wedges.

ive been fighting a huge war with vietnam, the last thing i need is bad food and a menu with 1% of the items actually sold

Terrible administration. The vice principal (alexia martin) gave my child a detention for ‘wasting her time’ when she was called there by the vice principal herself to discuss something.

Update:
I have now been promoted to a better school. James Ruse is so much better – Baulko seems like a joke in comparison. Guys, transfer to Ruse!!!! It’s never too late.

1. Canteen
– overpriced – to eat lunch, you have to bring at least $6 otherwise you’re starving
– unclean
– chips are so fried they’re literally bright yellow

2. Teachers
– Like every other school, you have the good teachers and the bad teachers. The good teachers are great and really help you succeed. But when you get a bad teacher, you’re basically screwed for the rest of the course. Trust me, this comes from experience.
– Some teachers HATE the students and will give detention for the slightest things (e.g. wrong socks, skirt too short, shirt not fully tucked in etc.)

3. The toilets
– They stink.

4. The hallways + classrooms
– Most hallways are too small, walking through them between periods is like getting caught up in a human sea. This is especially unpleasant in the summer, during when everyone is sticky and smelly.
– There is gum on every single possible surface under a table. Once, without thinking, I touched underneath a table. What I felt was disgusting.

5. Students
– Getting into a selective school is hard, especially this one. It’s surprising how many students slack off within the first year. Honestly speaking, only about 20% of people I believe belong in this school. Others? I think they spent way too much of their childhood in tutoring schools, and then like a burnt out engine, proceeds to lie dormant for the rest of their school lives.
– So many people violate the school dress code.

6. Have we talked about graffiti? Those upside down cherries can be found everywhere.

The teachers don’t trust us. They implemented a new Out of Class Slip for those that leave the classroom during subject periods. We literally have to sign a document whenever we run out of water and need to go refill it. It’s so annoying.

My advice: If you want to do well here, just listen in class. Forget Kurt or Dr. Du or whatever other tutoring you go to as a student in Baulko. Trust me, if you don’t focus during class and absorb the information, external help is not going assist you.

The food here tastes like absolute trash, even my garbage bin could produce better food. Prices are also very concerning for both the students and the parents income. There is just no way a sandwich with little to nothing in it costs $5.00. The menu has also been comprimised due to the canteen turning from parent run to a FOR PROFIT SERVICE, which means that the food is pre packed from a freezer, tastes like garbage, offers less items for students to eat due to GREED and last of all will run students pockets dry from money
