Reviews
I've been attending Pinehurst since I was in year 7, and I've not only improved and expanded my knowledge, skills, life experiences and perspective on service & leadership, but I believe I've also improved myself as a human and I'm still continuing to improve every single day. Yes, $20k a year is costly but the school provides the highest-quality education and opportunities in this area. There are just over 1000 students enrolled in Pinehurst spread through years 0-13, meaning there are no more than 100 students each year level and this ensures each individual is receives the same amount of care and attention from their teacher/s. Cambridge curriculum: Flashy Theatre and College 5: HELPFUL and amiable teachers: Amazing, close-knit, supportive community: not to be that person but better than kristin:
Pinehurst is a really good school. Most of the teachers are caring and very nice, and so are the students. The students are very fun to be around and they are really nice. There is a bit of racism in this school, which is a bit disappointing but its just the students. Otherwise, I learnt alot of things in this school, and it improved my grades. The school is also very small, which is a good thing because there is a lower chance of being late to classes. The new theatre is also really cool, especially the class with windows as walls the corner room. The busy bean cafe is also really delicious, and the uniform is drop dead gorgeous go to this school now
I've been here since Year 1 and have never been bullied once. Everyone here cares about each other and students and teachers alike are very kind. The academics are also very good. They follow the Cambridge curriculum which helps everyone improve their learning and education. Overall good school ^^
Good school like academic wise but the tuck shop is sooo overpriced and food is kinda mid garlic bread good tho also not much sporting opportunities in year 9 they should open zone days for year 9s
It's a nice school better than Kristen, I really like it and I have made a lot of friends along the way ! PLS COME !!! I need new friends so my Discord is 911 "Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what your gonna get" - Forrest Gumppy, lumpy, Plumpy, Jumpy AKA Me I lied lol, lmaoooo, Yolo, Limga, Slaty Cheese burger with tomato sauce and a beef patty on the side with some fries to go with, Stone sniffer,
Due to the highly monitored no-bullying system, Judging is a very common trait presented by senior Pinehurst students. Recently a challenging chemistry test was done in Year 11, Many students failed to pass and were forced to do chemistry tutorials to catch up. A lot of people failed this test and I find it unfair that they when failing an easier test nothing happens compared to when you fail a hard test. Plus some students believe that other student are racist behind their back so they believe it is acceptable to create harsh racist comments towards them, Just because they believe they are the minority and believe that they have to the right to say vulgar things. Mrs Boam is the GOAT, sad to see you leave. if u don't believe this sentence you're completely and utterly wrong
The Best School Ever!! Beautiful campus environment, friendly teachers and staffs. Full timetable for online classes during the covid even for primary students. My kids told me, he is enjoying school life.
Yeah I like this schools teaching. EDIT: I am bumping my review down from a 5 to a 4, just because of something to watch out for is the bus system. It quite Frankly sucks. There have been countless times I have missed my bus and had to call and Uber just because my bus driver couldn't be bothered to wait an extra 2 minutes. The bus works but not very well. Would expect more from a private school
Awful school The school runs from year 1 to year 13, is supposedly one of the highest achieving academic schools in New Zealand, as well as being one of the most expensive, but is it good? I was a student at the school for almost seven years so I should know In 2017, the school's founding principal, Sherida Penman-Walters, who had had the role since the school was founded in 1991, retired and was replaced by Alex Reid, previously at Westlake Boys High School, he has since implemented some questionable rules and also is trying to increse the size of the school to over one thousand students, which is much more than the seven hundred that the school previously had, getting rid of the school's small-school character. Making the school even worse than it previously was; the school is bad for a number of reasons: Firstly the school has biased punishment, school didn't like me and gave me detentions without reason in intermediate, also the school is full of people who are either extremely wealthy and show off about it; or a large amount of Asian students that don't speak English and students that speak English as a first language like me are expected to help them even if we don't speak any Chinese! The school is also now apparently in a poor financial situation after building it's new buildings; a new college block, college 4, as well as many new classrooms in the primary that the school has built on one of the school's fields, and a new library, which is still under construction and is expected to be completed some later this year. The majority of staff at the school, don't treat you well, some treating you like you are much younger than you actually are, like Angela Smith, who treats intermediate and collage students almost as if they are new entrants, as well as the school's "teacher-librarian", the now gone thank goodness Fiona Mackie, who reads picture books to senior college students. I would have given the school two stars for them running the Cambridge curriculum, but this, combined with the high fees, causes a large percentage of the students to think that they are superior to students at all other schools. These reasons combined made me leave the school two years ago, this was the best decision of my life to leave this joke of a school behind, and I know many students that still attend the school, but, like me; they are also planning to leave. Note: This review was originally written in 2019, but due the anti free speech, anti criticism leadership team of Pinehurst it was not visible, so I have reposted it, and if you take it down I will just post it again
Aside from being really expensive, they don't really care about their students well being, which I believe is important when you have a duty of care for somebody. I went to this school when I first moved to NZ, years 4-7, it was named one of the top schools on the North Shore, but I don't believe it was. If you like strict rules and high academic values, then this would probably be a great school for you/ your child, but I wouldn't send my children there. Focusing mainly on the really bright students and forgetting about those who struggled, wanting to keep up a perfect image. Yes they have educated some top athletes, but any school could do that. When I left in 2010, almost the whole of my year either went to Kristin, Rangitoto or Westlake. It may not be the same school now, as when I was a student there, change is always welcome, but personally a public school did just as good a job as this private school. I'm first year at University now. They also do little about bullying, even though they pride themselves on standing up for their students. A friend of mine was bullied most days for around a year, phoning the principle, meetings with the deans, seclusion of the bully from activities and nothing worked. I'm shocked they didn't expel the student. The kid graduated year 12 and my friend had to move schools because the bullying was so severe, it was detrimental to their health and overall well being.
