Not impressed. I took my Book of Mormon triple combination with me to mass and they threw it in my face and told me to read Galatians 1:8. The mass was mass-ive, similar to a low taper fade, and was super inviting, however, and for that reason I give it 5 stars.nnI was assaulted by a young boy in the ladies' toilets
Looks like a great school and sports felds i was watching my grandson play soccer
I would give this school a one-star review based on my experience.nnThere have been moments where I feel misunderstandings can happen quickly between students and staff, especially in stressful situations. For example, I recently had my phone taken. My social media notifications were going off and making noise, so I quickly tried to turn my phone off so it wouldn’t distract the class or get me into more trouble. In the moment, I panicked because I didn’t want to be seen as using my phone. I tried to put it away in my computer, but the teacher saw it. I understand how this may have looked, but my intention was just to stop the noise and avoid making the situation worse.nnIn this situation, I also felt I was not given the opportunity to explain what was happening before my phone was taken. The new teacher took it straight away without asking why I had it out, which made the situation feel rushed and frustrating.nnI also feel that sometimes there are inconsistencies in how rules and behaviour issues are addressed across the school. This can make it feel like certain issues are dealt with more quickly or strictly than others, which can be confusing for students.nnAt times, I also feel that students can be left without enough opportunity to fully explain themselves in situations that happen quickly, which can lead to misunderstandings.nnI also feel there are sometimes issues around how cultural moments are received in the school. For example, when the school performs a haka to support Year 13 leavers or to welcome new staff, some students may react with complaints or a lack of enthusiasm. From my perspective, it should be a moment of pride, respect, and mana, but it does not always feel like everyone values it in the same way.nnOverall, I think the school has good structure and intentions, but there are areas where communication, fairness, and understanding in certain situations could be improved.
Got thrown off the bus, ran over by 5 cars, forced to jump of a building, used as a support beam for 10 days, used as a shooting target for the gun range for 3 periods and been ko'ed by the year 13's but overall pretty good school u should go.
Great School and nice facilities. Teachers are good and friendly.
