Would you recommend it?
I would recommend this school to others because it is very big, accessible to public transport, and the size of the school means that there are students of many different types and interests.
What had the biggest impact
Doing the drama class in grades 10-12 was very impactful as I learnt a lot, had a very fun time, and made many friends. Volleyball was also super fun in senior year.

Year 12 subject choices
I did: Pyschology Physics Methods General English Ancient History Drama I chose them because I was interested in them, and was glad I chose them because there was a lot of variety in my subjects.
Getting extra help
Fairly accessible as weekly tutoring sessions for a variety of subjects were held, with extra sessions for senior students.
Readiness for life after school
I felt somewhat prepared, as I had decided on which degree I would do in university.
Subject range and curiosity
Yes, I believe that we had quite a diverse range of subjects, so everybody was able to study what they were interested in. They fostered engagement by offering the opportunity to join after school hours clubs.
Bullying and getting to school safely
There was a time where I got punched right outside of school grounds and the school didn't really do anything to address it - furthermore, I've heard of multiple other students having issues with bullying that did not get addressed properly by staff. I would not recommend this school if you think your child is a high risk of being targeted for bullying.
Camps and excursions
Modern, with a very high focus on inclusivity and lgbtq movements and the likes of that.
Something only students would know
We always throw our brown shoes on top of the branches of a big tree when we graduate.
Coaching and chances to compete
I do not think the school pushed sport hard enough or provided enough opportunities. They should have encouraged more people to play more sports and signed up for more competitions.
Chances to take part in the arts
It was very enjoyable and the staff were very passionate about what they were teaching.
