This is the story of how this school broke me. One day in period 3 before lunch time I was really needing the bathroom, the teacher was not letting me go. She sai that there was only 45 minutes till lunch time and that I could wait. I was about to piss myself so I ran out of the class to the bathroom. When I got to the bathroom there were 3 big guys in there doing cocain. I went in to my stall and did my thing then some big things came behind me and I didn't know what to do, expect it or run. in the end I ran and the snakes escaped my buttocks. I would recommend this school and it is usually really good

My great great great great granddaughters go there and have been bullied and pushed around they are now on antidepressants, they skip all their classes and poop themselves when they get home because the bathrooms are being 'used' by many different couples. Overall it was better than my school but worse than my kids so average.

Everyone does drugs and most of the windows are smashed, people do cocaine on the benches next to the basketball courts, smoke weed and do nangs on the oval. There are furries too and it makes me want to throw myself of the 3-story building whenever i see them. The french stream should be considered as child abuse, it was horrible. they told us that school was more important than our health and lives. We never had time do to anything else besides homework, and the school has no idea how to support mental illness. I skipped a few classes last year and ever since then I have been targeted, not allowed to use the bathroom besides during recess & lunch. I moved to the english stream and it is 2 years behind the french stream. None of the teachers know what they're doing, and ms.power is a cunt.

I am a parent, I found this school excellent, My child could learn French and all other subject were well taught. The English subject area is well run and supported my child well for entry to college. I did not hear about bullying or antisocial behaviour. Parts of the school are old but well maintained as the origin school in Canberra.

I'm a parent and I rate this school excellent because my son is a drug addict and does crack and weed and heroin and meth. He always goes out and never stays at home. He has many friends and teachers at this school who encourage this behaviour. I am so proud of my son for who he has become. He has a body count of about 250, and parties all night and all day.

I love this school! it is great and all but the cherry on top is this story, so sit back, relax and grab some snacks to listen to this fairytale. so once upon a time, I was running around during lunch and then when I needed to go to the bathroom as I walked in I saw a few big black guys sitting at the wash sinks like they were waiting for someone to come in. as I walked in they followed me with their eyes and tracked me to the stall and as I was about to open the stall door they grabbed the stall and stopped it from closing as they shifted their hands onto mine, I couldn't help but wonder what was going to happen. as their eyes met mine they pushed me to the floor and to catch myself I fell onto my knees. as he shoved his popsicle into my mouth my knees started to go red the concrete was hurting as I tried to stand up to prevent my knees from hurting, they grabbed my and railed me, the back and forth movement between us was magnet-like! the connection and the chemistry between the 6 of us was insane! as they all squirted their milk on me I slurped and licked it up. and now I live happily ever after (I'm a guy btw)

I love this school!!!!!!!!! The school gives me fre mony and everyone suks my coke for fun. I get free drugs and everyone loves me. I pull 600 bithes every second and I get analed in the bathroom every lunch time. My crush asked me out but I was so cool I reject her. The food in the canteen is so unexpensive. They sell a 1 cm pizza for only $7! So little. I bully nerds every day. Strike first, strike hard no mercy. I bully nerds who piss me off. BTW my bughatti is Red, but I have 25 more lot of money cars. I love money so much

Very much regret enrolling my children in this high school. Drug use is rife as is bullying, vandalism and criminal behaviour. Kids are allowed to use their phones during the day and the use of internet on school-issued computers is poorly monitored. A thriving culture of negative and anti-social behaviour.

no matter what u hear this school is terrible. too much bullying, drug problems and teachers in the english stream are lazy. i have no say in the french stream as i wasn't in it but many of my family friends and people i know in general hated it and either stayed strong and kept going or had to move schools. i myself had to move schools, this school is not good for your childs emotional well-being. and the school needs to sort out their drug problems because when i went there, they did nothing about bongs being layed on the oval for example, they did not contact parents about that nor try to improve the school when a student ended up in hospital because of the drugs being spread around at that school. this isn't just my experience, it's many students experiences too. including my friends and classmates who are being introduced to drugs, getting bullied or feeling alone in that the school isn't providing enough support for physical or mental well-being.

David,that might be true, but it's certainly got worse (unfortunately, I don't know of any real data on the issue I'm not sure if it extsis or if anyone really wants to find out). I can understand why it is done in Year 12 (even if detrimental to overall learning), but if it infiltrates lower years more and more, it will certainly be bad news. Indeed, this problem (I'll call it a problem!) is so endemic now that it is really a pain for us in universities, since the expectation many students have is that what they do should have essentially the same structure. Thus, they often have no expectations to do anything more than memorize a list of facts that you tell them, and that the entire course should be structured around helping them memorize these. Quite depressing really.
