Beautiful!

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.

Good Teachers - Bad School Environment

Drugs, Vaping, Partying and Alcohol all taught to kids here at this school, not like normal public schools but from year 7, 11 year Olds are already expected to be vaping or they get bullied. No toilets all smokers in there. Alot of hangs and gang violence and fights regularly. If your child likes to stay out of trouble watch out too because bullies will come get them - speaking from experience, if your child easily gets persuaded or peer pressured they will be on hard core drugs. For those with good children who you know will do the good thing, there won't be any groups for them so that child has to be independent to thrive- if so the teachers are exceptionally talented for the most part but teachers are constantly leaving because of the bad children here so unqualified teachers are having to teach some subjects. The punishment system here is non existent despite them trying to push it, and while some good opportunities are given, and wildly publicized, if your child is not tough and independent they will turn out to be a hard core drug dealer or bullied to the point of self harm as has happened alot here. Facilities are all being upgraded they say.

review

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.

High school

Personal experiences from an ex student.

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.

bad overall

used to go there, most of the principles they've had are horrible, don't help fix anything in the school that actually matters. bullying is rampant, but of course none of the staff care. most of the good teachers have already left.
