"This school is absolutely horrible, the only way students can leave is by killing themselves to escape the consistent abuse here. I’ve been a student here since 2020 and I have been nonstop harassed by teachers. In past years students have attacked me and nonstop been racist to me and when I’ve reacted I’ve been treated as a bad child and they refuse to act on the problem. They suspend students/ send them home whenever teachers don’t get their ways with students. Recently a teacher started working as the year 10 learning community teacher and she has targeted multiple students at the school, she’s pointed out the self harm and weight, compared people’s home life’s and exposed there living situations to the whole classroom. She has also threatened to fire my special aid teachers for helping me with my class work. Another teacher, the assistant principal, locked me in a classroom in year 8 because I found inappropriate content on a teachers laptop and she deleted the evidence of it off my phone and kept me there throughout recess locked in from the inside until she sent me home and suspended me. The teachers here are absolutely horrible and they do not care about students or families well-being. Parents please dont bring your children here."

"Worst school ever, no anti-bullying, treats students as numbers not people, fights often, they will full you with acting all good for a month or two then it goes bad. Has caused many suicidal attempts from many people, even me and they won’t do anything about it. Some teachers will yell at your kid, some might even swear. If you wag they’ll track you down, but if you miss 6 months of school they don’t care. Some people might get it easy, but if you can don’t go here!!!! I only went for a year and that’s only half of what’s happened."

"i got touched in the toilet but its allgdz coz yous make the bacon and egg muffin the ocky way."

"A teacher at this school absolutely destroyed a students academic confidence. The student was by far the best in their class, always willing to participate and focused on assigned work. After an assessment task, which the student scored 80%+ in, the teacher remarked “I thought you would’ve done better.” The student had the highest marks in the class and had their confidence destroyed by this comment. In no situation should a teacher be stating that to a student. That student went on to having confidence issues and began to avoid schoolwork so they would not disappoint more teachers with their marks. This student suffered mental strains and went to therapy because of their downfall, their downfall that began with a teacher stating that they were disappointed. Educate the teachers to not spread negativity, positive reinforcement works better than negative remarks."
