Beaudesert State High School

I’m a student, and I need people to know what it actually feels like inside this school. The culture here is one of the most toxic and damaging things I’ve ever experienced. If you get sexually harassed and you say NO, somehow you end up suspended. That’s the type of logic this school runs on, punish the person who speaks up, ignore the behaviour that caused it. It makes you feel disgusting, powerless, and completely alone. Fights happen constantly, and teachers take way too long to step in. Students get hurt while staff pretend everything is under control, when anyone who actually goes here knows it’s not. But the worst part is the way leadership handles bullying. Instead of supporting you, it feels like the system turns against you. When you try to report things, they brush it off, twist it around, or make you feel like you’re the problem. It gets to the point where you stop asking for help because you know it won’t come. It honestly feels like certain leaders protect themselves first, even if it means students suffer. It’s like the problems are hidden instead of fixed. And when staff defend each other instead of protecting kids, bullying gets worse to the point where students feel completely broken, hopeless, and like there’s no way out. Kids shouldn’t be left feeling that level of pain. They shouldn’t feel scared to speak up, scared to come to school, or pushed so far that they feel like giving up completely. But that’s what this place does to you. And everyone knows what has happened here, how much harm this school’s culture has caused. No student should ever feel like their life is being destroyed because adults refuse to listen, protect, or do their job. I would never recommend this school to anyone. Not ever.

It has really bad facilities and bullying is awful.

Beautiful School staff with a wide variety of extracurricular activities and subjects to choose from. The Arts department are the most beautiful group of staff. All so funny who aim for inclusivity and fun. Amazing opportunities for inspiring musicians to join contemporary music programs like Songbirds.

i love going to school it's just the new rules are bad because we've been able to wear whatever shorts and whatever shoes and socks for a while until they made it that you have to wear the shorts it's very unfair considering i was so use to wearing my Canterbury shorts and i actully loved wearing the uniform until they changed it. the new principle is alright but these rules are hopeless and it's getting too strict, the academy classes are very good tho, other than that i have fun at school but yeah. AND the tuck shop is getting to expensive.

The teachers were rude and nasty and didn't help me and the pricapl never helped me with any of the bullying neither did the teachers the teachers always made fun of me and made me feel stupid so did the students and their programs are rather not very helpful at all I haven't heard anything again.

I attended Beaudesert high school for year 10 and term 1 of year 11. Some of the teachers were very respectful and clued on. However others weren’t. Some teachers were also experiencing bullying, so not the best work environment for them either. There is a major issue with bullying here, although this occurs in most public state schools. It’s frustrating because when you defend yourself you are suspended for retaliation. So even if you are assaulted you are punished. During my time here I left school grounds with friends because another student was threatening me. While out a teacher that found us mocked running us over. I reported this teacher to outside sources and he was punished and went through retraining. I had reported to the office of other students harassing me and threatening violence, however the staff didn’t care. A Student jumped out a second story window while under the influence of illicit drugs when I was attending. I’m unsure if the windows have been barred to prevent reoccurrence. Bonus of the school is that it does offer horticulture and agriculture. Probably one of the better public schools available, however your kids will likely come out traumatised with PTSD if they aren’t the bullies.

I love this highschool it makes me actually want to go to school (coming from someone who hates school)
