I didn't go to namadgi, nor do I have any kids or sibling who do/did, but I live quite close to the school and the kids that went there were always vandalizing the area and shoplifting from the IGA and petrol station across the road.
Namadgi is the type of school that you take a risk going to, its all dependent on the child in question, their tendencies to gravitate towards certain crowds, their social skills, etc.
My child is high functioning autistic and couldnt make it through an entire year without having an overload of severe anxiety, being threatened, harassed, bullied, it was horrific.
I remember one day after work my kid told me he saw someone get stabbed on accident and the person who got stabbed was showing it off like it was cool.
This school is one of the many in Canberra that genuinely needs ON-SITE security, whatever that may be.
