Brisbane State High School

i really don't think brisebane state high will read this. The school cares more about their reputation rather than the wellbeing of the students. you can get dropped out for having bad grades and ruining the reputation. people are at breaking point at this school. really worth that 98.5% ATAR score, huh.

BSHS is alright. There are lots of stairs and the campuses are very large so it is hard to get around. There are not enough bathrooms at all so there are always queues for the bathrooms which can often make you late for class. The bathrooms barely work and are just generally gross. They are super strict about assessment extensions, your house can catch fire and they won’t give you an extension (it has happened). There are no camps unless you do specific subjects or extra-curriculars. Getting a subject change is a nightmare. The uniforms are expensive and not great. The workload and level of difficulty is much more compared to other schools. The school is very overcrowded so if you don’t deal with crowds well, do not go here. The wifi never works really. The school uses iPads which does not work well, especially when they require specific apps or functions to complete assessments which the iPad just doesn’t have. They lock every gate except one during school hours. However, they teach exam strategies well and generally have good staff. The people are nice generally. The choice of opportunities for extracurricular activities and clubs is good, but a little bit expensive.

Highest suicide rate in Brisbane. Almost every kid I knew here was suicidal.
