Incidents and problems at lake Mac
This school sucks, they don't offer the help students need. The teachers couldn't care less about their job and the way they treat their students, in-fact one of the teachers has encouraged a student to beat up an autistic peer. The teachers in the special education unit belittle disabled students, they do not offer support to students who need help diagnosis or not. Favouritism over prodigy and beloved students. Students who are struggling with addiction problems (vaping, smoking etc. are looked down upon and female students are revoked from their toilet privileges, the "help" they offer with addiction is revealed to parents/guardians with no other help or guidance with their addiction problems. As well as wasting their educational money on unnecessary needs (a third basketball court, a second car park, air conditioning system that doesn't work, etc).
Lake Mac also has a very severe bullying problem which teachers/deputy don't seem to care about. Teachers are also known to force students into uncomfortable situations (p.e year 11 camp, getting forced to work with bullies). As well as lake Mac being prone to uncomfortable situations they do unnecessary bag searches (whether they have consent or not) if the students refuse the bag searches they are threatened with police force. Another incident that has happened at lake Mac quite recently is publicly humiliating some female students at an assembly forcing them to lift their shirt and show their waistband of their shorts. In one case a LGBTQ+ student on the S.R.C and ally teacher organised a pride club for other LGBTQ+ students to help them feel supported and loved, as advertised around the school (posters), said advertisements as soon as they were put up were ripped down by insensitive students. The group was later discontinued a few weeks later due to feeling shamed. Quite recently there was an incident involving a large group of students which involved a quite physical fight causing students to end up in hospital (the students were hardly disciplined). While we are on the topic of violent students there was a fatal case of one of their students brutally murdering her
10 yr old sister where as the school was invading the said student privacy by identifying them (the news case/article hadn't even done that due the fact they are a minor).
Lake Mac High is also known for being racist, one incident of racism is a teacher assigning an assessment task asking students to write an article from a racist perspective asking students to write an article from a racist perspective asking students to justify racism.
In the end lake Mac High isn't an ideal school to enrol your children at, as a former student I would definitely not recommend.
