Hastings Secondary College Wesport Campus

I’d like to clear up a few things about what has been written here . Firstly, this school has some amazing teachers who are unable to do their job because of the poor behaviour of some of the students. These students have little to no respect for anybody, and often this attitude comes from the home. Parents tell their children that they “don’t have to go to class if they don’t want to” that “ they can’t make you do anything you don’t want to do” . Every opportunity to succeed is offered to these students and they refuse to take advantage of them , they’d rather run up and down the corridors acting the fool and disturbing the learning of everyone else. Teachers try , but with little to no support there is only so much they can do.

As for the toilets, they are closed when students demonstrate that they can’t be trusted to use them appropriately unless supervised. When left to their own devices these students congregate en masse to vape, truant class, or vandalise the facilities, including graffiti and setting fires in the bins/sinks INSTEAD of going to class. How is this the fault of the teachers? Perhaps people should be looking closer to home for blame. In saying this , students are allowed to use them, NO-ONE is denied use of the bathroom, they are required to ask for a key to unlock them so that teaching staff can better manage the risk of damage and truancy. They are LOCKED for the safety of your child.

This school has all the makings to be an amazing school. Its curriculum js wonderful. They offer many courses catering to many different interests and abilities. What they lack, is a student / parent body that values education. Teach your children some discipline and respect and maybe they will be able to learn something !

Ignore these 1 star non-credible "reviews".
As a current student, this school has amazing teachers who use all their time towards us students, we are cared for and are felt like a team! Most of the students are great, respectful and work to their best! However, there are some bad apples who ruin things that impact everyone.

"The toilets are locked whenever..."
There is an important reason for this, because more and more students are smoking e-ciggerettes which many schools in AU are having trouble, and hanging in the bathroom, as well as them vandalising some toilets, impacts everyone. That is those student's fault and their parents for not raising them right.

A quality public school with great education and once in a lifetime opportunities that await!

They don’t care about education just your uniform.
They lock the toilets whenever they want some times all day so no one gets to go to the toilet especially if your a girl you need the toilet for reasons.
Teachers just gave up on teaching you so we have to copy everything off Google. They don’t care about anything anymore there’s much more I can say about this school. Its horrible
