This school is so sigma. The facilities are low key amazing, and the performing arts center is peak. The new principal update is cool, but I miss Mr Kane. : The rebuilt 'Toputanga' gym and 'Taurikura' hall are also amazing. The field is massive. The staff are amazing and friendly.nnTL;DR: This school is good. Also, Mr Pittams is really cute.
I love being in the presence of james manser, he is truly the greatest man alive
Horrible place, does not care about students mental issues and ended up having to leave due to severe anxiety not being properly addressed. Please, if your children suffer from anxiety or depression keep a close eye on them, It happened to me and then ended up happening to my sister. I will not be sending my future kids here and I recommend you don't either.
mr pook is undoubtably one of the teachers of all time
My experience at Kapiti College has been marked by several issues that I feel compelled to share, particularly regarding teacher behavior, restrictions on self-expression, and the enforcement of strict uniform policies.nnFirstly, I encountered instances of bullying behavior from some teachers that negatively impacted the learning environment. Rather than feeling supported, many students experienced belittlement or dismissal during class discussions. This not only stifled our voices but created an atmosphere where seeking help or expressing concerns felt daunting.nnFurthermore, the school’s approach to self-expression was quite restrictive. Students were often discouraged from showcasing their individuality, whether through their attire or creative projects. This lack of encouragement for self-expression can lead to feelings of frustration and alienation among students, hindering their overall growth and confidence.nnThe strict uniform policies added another layer of pressure. While I understand the desire for uniformity and discipline, the enforcement often felt excessive. Minor infractions led to harsh reprimands, further contributing to a culture of fear rather than one of respect and encouragement.nnIn conclusion, I believe that Kapiti College has the potential to create a more inclusive and supportive environment. Addressing these issues would greatly benefit both students and staff, fostering a culture where everyone feels valued and empowered.
