Had a teacher swear at me for wearing a religious necklace even though i had permission. Teachers are no help, students are very disrespectful

Terrible experience
If your child has any additional needs or behaviour issues, do not bother with this school! The wellness team is fantastic at writing amazing plans and even better at failing to implement them in their entirety. There’s a few fantastic teachers who go above and beyond to help those kids who are clearly struggling or are well behind their peers; but unfortunately for every 1 teacher like that you will have 10 teachers who don’t communicate issues until you get the phone call that wraps up 6 mont...

Do not send your children here!
Awful school. Whilst they boast about their academics, PPHS is a cesspool for bullying, starting from the top. The principal told all year 7 students on their first day of highschool - “f up and you’re out IMMEDIATELY” (intimidation). The principal also had girls wearing skirts line up at an assembly and measure their skirt lengths, calling out girls whose skirts were shorter than others. (Humiliation, degradation, sexism, abuse of power). The office staff are horrible - the way they speak to students, disgusting. The entitlement of some of the employees at this school. How they come across bigger and better than everyone else. Sit tf down. One of the current male deputy principals, useless as tits on a bull. The lying from the schools staff members is disgusting. The uniform policy is ridiculous, especially being a state school. Teachers giving detentions to students because they have a bit of colour on the soles of their socks. Get a grip! They are trying to privatise this school, and it’s ridiculous. My child has copped nothing but abuse from this school. This school victimises the bullies, and punishes the victims. God forbid a student has had enough of severe bullying and reacts, leading to severe punishment. Meanwhile, the bully gets away with not even a slap on the wrist. The teachers use AI/ChatGPT to provide feedback to your children about their school work. The student supports they have in place are a load of nonsense. No matter how many parents complain and want change at this school and ask for help, nothing changes. The school needs to be held accountable for the negative behaviour and bullying they’re breeding in this school. Disgusting.

Horrible!!
too strict, phone bans (what if a student needed to call their parents during a panic attack) locked toilets during class, the school bag gives us all back pains, 95% of the teachers only care about what we’re wearing and they don’t care about our mental health, strict teachers that will literally yell at you if your talking or confused, dangerous students still remaining in school no matter how many times they have been reported overall it’s a horrible school

half slay
good facilities, awful uniform policies- literally forced everyone wearing a skirt to line up in front of everyone at a school assembly to have the length checked - public humiliation in my opinion

Idk what to name this
The school itself is great, great teachers, facilities, programs ect. But the principle dose seem to be trying to turn it into a private school, very strict uniform policy, a phone ban during school hours, and a few other things.

Bad School
The principal is so rude, yells in your face if you don’t know the answer to something. the teachers are useless and rely on online instructions instead of their knowledge. Less than a handful of teachers actually know what they’re talking about. I had to leave this school in year 10 because they were no help to me

Don’t Go To Pac Pines State High
Learning side of this school is average, but the school itself only cares about reputation. They’re constantly telling us about not going to the park or up the road to the shops in our uniform. They claim they care about our mental health but they don’t. The principal will suspend/expel anyone. As long as you’ve done something wrong he’ll kick you out. On my first day he told me and the other students that “it’s a privilege to be here, and you have to prove that you can stay” The school wants to be a private school. They can’t afford to replace the soap and toilet paper in the bathroom but they can build a new million dollar building. Overall would not recommend anyone this school.
