  Terrible school. Care more about their money and public image than good education. Teachers have been formally reported and nothing has been done about it. Do not send your children here, for their sake.

  P.S Get rid of the Kinship program, some Kinships are fine but others are disastrous.

  I would probably give this a 9/10 but it's only a 5 star rating system so I'll just give it a 5 no one reads these anyway.

  They say They'll help you learn and "Prepare you for the future" yet they don't at all, they complain about hair and uniform more than the health and education of any student, this is why I am going to drop out in year 10, this school is a literal hell hole. This school has made me depressed and even a bit suicidal from all the bullying I get from other students, and the costs of this school is outrageous, you'd spend money on this school but for nothing that actually helps your child. Another bad thing is the IT department, the internet goes down and they have the stupidest reasons why, and the laptops they give to the students are just horrible, the laptops crash over and over, they're cheap and can break very easily, and even worse is the stuff the school spends its money on, useless junk that doesn't improve students education at all, for instance they built a whole new room in the main building, put new tiles out front, gave the staff touch screen and fold-able laptops while we're stuck with the crappy ones, a 50,000 laser engraving machine, and a sign in/sign out touch pad near the front desk, what they at least could do for us is give us better laptops or the year 9 classrooms better air conditioning, the air conditioners are absolute garbage. So please for the sake of you, your money and your child, don't send them to his school if you don't want your child to be depressed and bullied, or even worse become a bully.

  To the ones complaining about the teachers, y'all are the ones who stuff around and play games in class, and that's why you get locked out of your computers. To all of the students saying that they deserve better laptops: you peers unfortunately do not handle them the same way you do, and therefore the laptops break. If you're already complaining, the school buying more expensive laptops wont fix the problem, you'll only have to pay more to fix them. When people can learn not to disrespect their belongings, maybe then we can get some shiny new laptops. I personally haven't had hardly any bad experiences with the internet. And the bullying issue, ALL SCHOOLS HAVE KIDS WHO WILL BULLY. I'm not saying deal with it, it's a terrible thing to go through and I agree that that school needs to do more to solve the issue just like any other, but all it takes is an email to a coordinator to work things out. I know people that just took it to the coordinator straight away and got it resolved. But you have to remember, they're pretty busy. And yes, I do agree about the air conditioner problem, but do you know how much that'd cost?! Plus, they can only do it while the students aren't here, otherwise, there will be whiny students which complain about their class not being fixed first. It's a crazy amount of work they have to get completed over a short amount of time, and requires a lot of money. I do agree about them needing to fix the essentials before to lesser needed items, but they would have to gather up an insane amount of money before anything can get completed. Hope that makes sense (probably doesn't)

  I have the grades I need to get the career I want and it's all thanks to a bunch of great maths and science teachers. English and humanities are pretty good too. Some of the people here can be interesting at times but for the most part they mean well they're just a bit challenged in social activities.

  These past few years I've learnt a bunch about science and maths and I'm happy to be doing well in it.
