Cecil Hills High School

As a former student of cecil hills , i pray to god that this school turns around the way they operate. I moved to chhs in year 8 after being at cecil for some time i formed mental health issues (this wasn’t the schools fault), i struggled majorly with being at school and i my sh was at an all time high . The school at first was willing to help . After awhile they wanted nothing to do with me . I was struggling severely and voiced my concerns to the school several times but they thought it was a joke. In year 10 i was sexually assaulted multiple times by a student at the school at first they said they would keep him away from me due to my ptsd but after a few days they didn’t care. I was having several ptsd attacks at the school everyday and the school didn’t do anything . The only thing they did was tell me if i can’t deal with it then it’s my problem as he is still a student. This school on many occasions failed me so bad. I once was really triggered at school and did happen to sh , the schools response was keeping me from being at school for a few weeks. Miss lord is an absolute narcissist. She lies about everything. Every tuesday we got taken out of school for sport, an incident happened to another student and miss lord banned me from sport and blamed the incident on me when i was upstairs in the cafe.

Throughout my 2 years at cecil i ended up being admitted into hospital several times and in the end they got sick of me not being at school from time to time and they gave up on me.

This school wronged me so many times to the point where i felt leaving this world was the only way out. I was promised by mr lane i would complete year 10 , however a few days later he said if i didn’t leave the school and move to a school for mental health then i wouldn’t get my year 10 certificate. I was blackmailed at this school forcing me to leave. This school is that bad that i wouldn’t even send my pets here.

It’s been a year since i left cecil and moving from that school wether it was forced or not was the best thing that ever happened to me. My heart breaks for the many kids that suffer with mental health issues at that school because this school does not know how to deal with it. I also had a sister in the grade below who struggled with mental health and the school also did wrong by her too. The amount of crap this school posts about mental health now cannot make up for who they really are as a school.

I’ve been at this school since year 7, i’m now in year 11. I’d love to say I love this school with my whole heart but that isn’t possible. I’ve had a share of bad experiences and some experiences from former classmates. Here are some of them: A sibling of mine who has now graduated from school was sexually harassed by another student in their year. (This is recent, mind you.) I have had experiences with SA, outside of school. I haven’t had my justice, but I wanted to make sure the idiot who thought it was okay to touch my sibling got theirs. With anger, I made my way to Ms. Sahid’s office. The deputy in charge of my siblings year. She proceeded to tell me it’s none of my business and I had no right to make a report. My sibling needed to do it themself but I know they wouldn’t be able to until they could talk about it without breaking into tears. I wish someone did what I tried to do when I went through my experiences with SA. My sibling had enough courage to tell me what happened. And that idiot still got to walk the stage at graduation all giddy. My sibling was VIOLATED in an EDUCATIONAL environment, wearing the appointed SCHOOL UNIFORM. Nothing was done about it, it’s too late now.

A now former student who should’ve finished Year 12 like they wanted with their mates, was robbed of what they wanted. They have learning difficulties, along with mental health issues. This school did not help them get through their struggles. This school may have changed the entire trajectory of this persons life because they just couldn’t care less.

I believe the reason why I have had an OK experience whilst studying at Cecil Hills High School is because I have broken the habit of keeping my mouth shut.
I am very open with my mental health to my deputy, counsellor and Johnny.
Not everyone has the ability to break such a habit.
Even though it has not been or ever will be in my control, I feel so much guilt that not everybody that goes to this school gets what they want from it.

Additional note: The canteen prices are just as ridiculous if not more ridiculous than the prices you would find in the city. YOU ARE SERVING TO CHILDREN, some who earn MINIMUM WAGE. If anyone from Cecil Hills High School is a staff member reading this, think of the students who can’t afford the crappy canteen and go HUNGRY at recess and lunch.

Cecil Hills is a school riddled with bullying, harrassment, and overall poor treatment by both teachers and students. The teachers disregard any care for bullying or mental health and drive students out of the school due to their blatant disrespect. I personally know many students who suffer with severe mental health conditions that the school has ignored and made feel like they do not belong there and that there is something wrong with them. The school is disgusting and needs serious help.

Cecil hills high school is a terrible school. The canteen has changed and raised prices for a bad portion of food, some of the teachers are so rude to students (they swear at us, expect us to do work without being taught it and making excuses like 'you should already know this'). Some teachers also give us A LOT of homework, a whole chapter of work or maybe even 2 chapters. The front office ladies are probably 10x worse. They're so rude to students and don't even know a thing about treating students when they're hurt. We don't even have proper ice packs, they're literally just ice cubes in a plastic bag which don't do anything. Plus we also have a principal who's been gone for so long, he was expected to leave for about 2 terms but it has now been about 4 years. I've never even seen him once when I started at this school.

absolutely hate it all the teachers think they can over power u just cause they’re ur teacher 😂😂😂
