The school is just horrible
This school is just horrible. I have been to many countries and schools in the world due to my family's continous migration and this is the worst school I've ever seen. The first day I went there I didn't want to speak so much in my new school, so I stayed on my own but the director of wellbeing, Sharon Gadner-Drummond had a meeting with my mum and used words like judging a prisoner. Then I started Term 1, and the director of Middle School, christopher land, arranges a meeting with my parents every week. Towards the end of term 2, I stayed up late to review for my test on the following day, so my mum was worried that I'm lost and made the teacher to go find me, but the teacher planned to send me to a school for people with special disabilities. In term 3, I was accused for sexually assaulting a girl simply for talking to her. In term 4, I wrote a nice word on the whiteboard but the SLWMs punished me for writing on the whiteboard without permission for $1000 fine and suspension of 2 weeks. They promised to tell my parents this after they found out the exact price, which they did not, then they first had a meeting, promising 3 times on EMAIL to include me in the meeting and hear my opinion, which they did not, and in fact suspended me BEFORE they even found out the exact price (which they had promised). In general, the teachers in this school is cunning, liar and untrustworthy, they do not care about students and have a discrimination on people especially boys.
Horrid
The school is very racially motivated, and they don't manage bullying well. If your not Asian or White, they treat you as if your crazy, exclude you, etc. even teachers are racist, and believe in stereotypes. Bullying? The victim will get in trouble, even if they do nothing. you get suspended for nothing, you get in trouble for nothing, and the education is horrid. Along with the science teachers and english teachers reading off a slide, then considering themselves to be teachers. Plus, the sports are so random? we do everything beside a proper sport.

This school is overall not sigma
aight
I have no problem with the school itself, but so many of the classrooms have a really chemical feel. The fluorescent lights in dark classrooms really make me feel like I’m living in a dystopia. I feel that the naturally lit classrooms feel the the most homely and fun to learn in.
lol i hate this place
some teachers are fucked up, there are two or three good teachers, principal thinks she owns a private school, this one vice principal thinks he’s the shit but he’s really not and i hate him. students fucking suck, the education is alright, need year-round sport teams/ clubs desperately, boring as shit, need more excursions or camps, need more subjects that actually cater to students hobbies and interests
Less than mid
They really don’t care about what you do, they will suspend you for every small thing… getting caught with video games on your laptop 3 times causes a suspension… refusing to give your phone if you get caught leads to a suspension… you really can get a suspension for anything. Also it’s like they can let anyone in this school, even the jerks! Can this place get any worse?
Perfect if you’re Einstein
For a school who prides themselves on their inclusive spirit and student voice, they do a very bad job. Student voice and inclusivity is reserved for those who boost up the schools marks and those who don’t over perform, they are ignored.
