| Reviews | | By Alumnus - 24 Apr 2024, Rate: bad | I kinda agree with the review from the 7th of April 2024. Although it is a multicultural school (well, as multicultural as it can be for a small anglo-saxon dominated country town), I did sort of notice that the white girls sort of seemed to 'matter' more, amongst the students at least.
All the other girls would sort of look up to the loud white girls more if you know what I mean. Like amongst all the loud, popular girls, even if there were girls of other races, most people would still mention a random white girls name if you were to ask them who they thought was the prettiest girl in the grade. Even if there were other prettier girls who weren't of anglo-saxon descent, nobody would acknowledge them as the 'prettiest' in the grade because in everyone's head, a white girl is still supposed to be number 1 for everything.
I did actually once have an unpleasant experience where I had to hold hands with one of those loud, bitchy, popular girls in PE class, & she was a white Aussie blondie. She made a really disgusted face when she had to hold my hands, & I'm pretty sure it was just because my skin is brown. That is extremely disgusting behaviour for anyone in this modern day & age, & even worse at a school worth $40k a year. As far as I was aware, this girl was from a wealthy family like most other families at this school, & she had been attending that school since preschool or kindergarten. You'd expect girls that have been at a private school their entire lives to be a bit more educated & disciplined than that, but it seems that the richest girls are the most isolated & narrow minded sometimes.
| | | By Alumnus - 07 Apr 2024, Rate: average | I feel like only the popular girls matter at this school. I mean obviously at any school the popular people stand out cause they’re loud, but it shouldn’t take over everyone’s school experiences. Everyone should matter equally.
It’s also very obvious that the white girls at the school matter more & are a more respected & trusted compared to girls of other backgrounds. Especially the ‘popular’ or ‘cool’ white girls.
I mean, there are girls of other backgrounds who are respected if they’re very loud, confident & are captains & leaders & things like that, but there’s still some sort of a vibe that there always needs to be a white girl in everything to make things legit. I guess it’s just the nature of a school in a small Aussie country town | | | By Alumnus - 22 Dec 2023, Rate: average | I’ll admit that obviously this is a good school for discipline & academics, considering that it’s an expensive private school, but personally I didn’t vibe with the girls there. Obviously there were some nice enough girls that I was able to temporarily get along with whilst I was there, but I knew I’d never speak to them again after high school. That’s exactly what happened.
I’m from Sydney & only went there for my last 2 years of high school, & I’ve noticed that the girls that have been there since kindergarten or preschool are a bit too attached to the school & never let go of their friends even years after high school.
They go to university & travel overseas but still don’t become close to anyone they met after high school. They continue to hang out with their high school friends & at most, maybe just other girls from other Canberran schools that they met at parties whilst they were in high school. They don’t seem to branch out very much. | | | >>More reviews... | |
