Blockhouse Bay Intermediate

Went here in 2023 and half of 2024. Never been so glad to switch schools halfway through a year. Literally the worst school I've been to, and that's saying something since I've changed schools a lot. This place has teachers who give you detention for the most smallest things. I almost got one just for taking a ball out of the pe shed. The students say cuss words that are not appropriate even for high school students. And the teachers just let it slide. THEY DO NOT CARE. They do not care about your education, they do not care about your mental health, they do not care about anything. Except. SPORTS. Education wise this school is horrible. They also don't care about bullying. They let it pass as nothing. The rules in this school are set at the standard of some boarding school. The principal Mr Malins is absolutely trash. He barely ever shows up to assemblies and instead lets the deputy principal do all the work. Also the teachers are absolutely rude and definitely have favorites. The star system is rigid. Only popular, smart and sporty kids get them. The teachers do not care for the students who need learning needs. In pe the t-shirt and shorts is your uniform, just like any other school. But here they don't let you wear a jacket on top even if it's freezing. I had to go through this a couple of times and all the kids hands were turning either purple or blue. I hope in the future Google lets us rate 0 because I will definitely come back and edit this to 0 ratings.

Best intermediate experience people were nice. Shout out to my yr 7/8 miss chueh and miss parag very well nice teachers and lots of experience and so nice plz give another year and recommendation to parents to let there child come bbi because it well pay of your child's education.

Former student here, hated every last second at that school, if you can even call it a school. They do not care about education, they just focus on sports. They do not prepare you well for high school at all. I feel I have learned nothing at BBI, and I had more potential that BBI crushed. If I could rate it 0 stars, I would.nnWhenever I was at the school, it felt like walking on eggshells. The smallest things could get you into trouble/detention. It felt like a prison/bootcamp and that they were preparing you for some fancy boarding school. Not education-wise, but just from their stupid rules.nnFirst of all, the star system is rigged, they just give stars to the more 'popular' and sporty kids. It's clear they play favorites, and that they don't care about kids' true abilities.nnThe counselling system is the worst. They do not help, and only see you like once a month. In my opinion, counselling just wasted my time. The school clearly doesn't care about mental health, and just wants kids to be mindless obedient zombies.nnThey do not care about bullying at all, and focus their problems on other issues. Like Mrs. Wong telling me I had 'problems at home' and gave me a detention for wearing black shorts with BARELY visible stars sowed on them. I also got kicked out of the bathrooms and was forced to use the hall toilets, even though I had done nothing wrong. It's humiliating having to walk all the way down there just to change into PE gear or to use the bathroom. Being separated from everyone else made me feel like some sort of freak.nnWhen someone makes an accusation about you, and you deny it, even if it isn't true the teachers take the side of the accuser, even with no proof. They also tend to take the side of the child who is more 'popular'. It is incredibly hard to make friends at that school, and teachers just deny all the issues that happen, like kids vaping, bullying, etc. They do not even try to listen to kids that complain about issues like that, they just stall and ignore them.

Aight bro so firstly pe was a disaster. Fitness in shorts and a t shirt in 8 degrees is craziness. Feel bad for some students as they had it worse than most of us because of DISCRIMINATION. I attended this monstrosity of a educational program and absolutely despised my experience. I hope that Mr malins leaves and the students have a better experience as we, former year 8, did not. And also, do a few more checks on staff because some of them didn't know that being nice is a thing. Thank you so so much for holding me in place as I will never forget my time at BBI. Overall, didn't mind as many teachers didn't pay much attention, and my time here was just fun no work.

Blockhouse Bay intermediate is recommended to parents looking for a school for there child because they are excellent at keeping their students fit and healthy for example fitness including Block run, Track attack, move and grove, and much more. The school has great facilities and great teachers.nnThe only reason people are giving this school bad ratings is because they are lazy and are too unfit to do cross-country and fitness!. There are multiple opportunities to sign up for and lots of inter-class sports throughout the term so your kid can get involved in a lot of sports.nnBlockhouse Bay intermediate keeps their school clean and tidy, and makes sure there are no rubbish lying around the school.nThere is one playground at blockhouse Bay intermediate and it is in perfect condition and very safe and sturdy equipment. Blockhouse bay intermediate is a safe place with beautiful nature and a great place for a high level of top of the country education. The school looks great and is in good conditions with no graffiti and a good looking environmentn-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------nnnKing RegardsnWil Pilkington
