Spoilers: They didn'tnThis school does not concern itself very much about the learning of their students, but rather on how good it looks to other places around Christchurch.nDO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE, IT IS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO LEARN AT.nnEdit: as of 3 years later from writing this review, the problems still persist. I had hoped they would fix their issues, but it seems they have not.
