The Hills Grammar School

Like the rest of the Australian school system it is poorly run with ridiculous, outrageous rules and regulations such as uniform, house pride and worst of all, the locker situation which requires students to put bags in lockers despite the school having one of the biggest campuses in the state making it impossible and impractible to bring appropriate materials to lessons.

The school also decides to experiment with the ridiculous S, G and H systems. Where students are divided into classes not based off their preference. But off of assesment results, and even if you do get good results they just decide not to move you up because the better class is full, which is absolutely ridiculous and has frankly screwed over part of my education. It also has the great trait of discouraging, or hell borderline prohibiting people in say the S class from doing maths advanced/physics, which will stop you from getting into certain professions or institutions after finishing school.

Why are these classes bad? Well just ask me, one of the hills S students who ended with a teacher who spoke to us all like we were 3 year olds, making us sing songs about times tables. Somehow I crawled my way our of that trash class and saw how much of a disadvantage the kids in that class are at compared to the higher classes.

I cant be bothered to contribute any more of my brains little energy to such a pathetic excuse of a private school which my family has worked their butts off to pay for only for it to be completely trash;

I see this school as a means to the end and nothing more, Karen Yager the principal if you are reading this, stop taking this school so seriously, stop trying to be so different and stop trying to make this school something it isn’t, and never will be: A highly competant private school, that is something you don’t have the funds or the care to do due to the obvious neglect of students concerns, why not listen to one student and maybe just make life less hard on us and give us an actual shot at a good education.

Lastly, you may be wondering why I have provided 0 ways to improve the school, well the way I see it if you’ve decided to ignore the SRC and everything students have suggested and put funding towards time and effort wasting BS like social entrepreneurship or passion projects, then you dont even deserve the crappy suggestions of a HS student. Bye!
