The main problem in school is problems with discipline, which should be developed in order to avoid unpleasant situations in the future. However, as a Year 13 student, I can say that during the five years of study at this school, I did not encounter trouble regarding studying or communication. Many teachers can explain their subject correctly and most importantly - interestingly, not forgetting about helping in learning. Each building is divided into several departments, plus a very convenient numbering system, which is why difficulties in orientation appear extremely rarely.
