Supportive and caring environment, something for everyone!
My daughter has started year 7 this year (2024), with some additional needs, and this school has wrapped around her like a glove. An individual learning plan has already been put into place, initiated by the school, and she is very well supported by her teachers.
The year 7 coordinator in particular is just awesome, and has been instrumental in helping the new cohort settle into school. All the girls have been encouraged to make new friends, and my daughter now has a fabulous friendship group.
My girl is not overly sporty, but has really enjoyed her music lessons, her product design & technology classes and French. There is something for everyone, as well as a variety of clubs and groups that students can opt into if they want to. As a relatively quiet child who likes reading, creative writing and music, her needs have been well catered for.
As a student who was a lot of extra needs the teachers and staff who work in that area are good at controlling it. Some teachers do not get it, and there is a issue with the substitute teachers. They are not good at all and there is shortened staff. The school is heavily centred around sport and other things like music and art has little funding compared to that. Around half the students are really posh, pushy and annoying. It’s hard to go into the bathroom because there is people in year 11! Banging on the doors, screaming at you while they make tiktoks and vape. I have health issues and some of the stuff the students do triggers that, all the staff did to help was to put up posters and they were taken down by the students pretty quick. The staff is very trustworthy but the students make me feel unsafe. The School is good for girls who like sport and are popular, if you a shy kid who likes art you will never feel like you fit in right. I recommend this school for sporty girls but that is about it. Staff are really nice, students are horrible. Get better funding and stop forcing students to give money.
