St Brendan's School

Horrid! I went here myself when I was a year 7 back in the 80s it was so bad! And my kid hates this school with there whole heart they don't do anything about bullying or serous problems it makes me sick i have counted numerous times were my child would come home crying because of the teachers and how the school deals with problems its the kids, the teachers, and the learning that makes this school so bad. Never send your child to this school until you want them to have mental problems and go down dark paths.

I wanted to take a moment to share my experience and gratitude with St Brendan’s School. I have been really impressed by the education and care my children and family have received since starting here in 2021. The Teachers, Support Teachers, Leaders, and Principal are all very professional and supportive. There are robust policies and procedures in place to ensure that each of my children have had a smooth transition into school life. As a family we have received individualised attention and support which has truly made our children and us as parents feel so welcomed and valued. The GRACE values are strongly emphasised throughout the teaching and learning programme and this has given our children a wonderful sense of belonging at school. There is a particular focus on kindness towards others and caring for each other and nature. The school gets involved in lots of local and national events which is exciting and provides an opportunity to learn about giving and supporting others learning about generosity and compassion. A highlight for my two children has been the buddy system where value is highly placed on the Tuakana-Teina relationships of the students. Overall, a really amazing experience.

Do not send your children to this school. I went there myself and teachers never picked up that me or my peers were needing extra support. They don't deal with bullying then wonder why so many people leave the school.

Our kids hated it, and in fact we took our son out early for intermediate level. I went there also and couldn't believe I thought it would have improved. Don't do it unless you are in the inner circle. If you have ever been to this school you will know what that means.

NEVER SEND YOUR KIDS HERE!!!!. i went here and holy hell. i was bullied and the principal never did anything about it actually giving the girl who bullied me a "BEST STUDENT AWARD". just dont sent your kids here.

Just horrible. Never send you're kids here, the reviews speak for themselves

The best little school in Upper Hutt with great staff and facilities.

Probably the best Catholic primary-intermediate school in Upper Hutt

This school ruined me
