Hard working site members and cleaners trying to keep the entire school clean. However the students on secondary side are completely disrespectful to other students, students on the primary side are lovely, respectful to everyone and most importantly help clean big bits of rubbish off of the carpets. Shame that the secondary students act in a manner involving throwing rubbish on the floor and swearing at everyone. Not all of the secondary students are like this but mostly year 7's to year 9's, the ones who are not disrespectful are sometimes forgotten about due o the emphasis on paying attention by warning moving and removing the students that misbehave. Would be better if they only gave one warning before isolating the students who misbehave.\n\nShould also mention that when I attend this school as a primary student about 9 years ago, I was heavily bullied due to my hair colour and size, experienced a massive drop with my self-image and still struggle when my boyfriend calls me beautiful due to all of the horrible names that students called me whilst I attended this school. The bullying only stopped after 2 years when a new student punched one of the bullies for me after they called me a \"bleached whale\" the student got in more trouble for standing up for me than the bullies did for insulting me for 2 years. Most teachers that do help with bullying and actually deal with it didn't even start until after this problem was over.\nThe bullying situation has gotten better however in my final year at this school I still saw students insulting each other and starting physical fights down on the field or at a nearby park in their uniforms.\n\nAny good teachers there are few and far between, my friend is not the smartest person and has tried her hardest especially in science yet one of the teachers saw her struggling with remembering equations during a class recap test and disregarding her hard work moved her down a set, she felt like the teacher was calling her stupid.\n\nIf you want your child to have a good self-esteem do not send them here unless you are sure that they wont be caused to feel insignificant or stupid because of other students. Would recommend if they got rid of some of the teachers and implemented harsher punishments.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"School is beautiful.
