Cranbourne Secondary College

Horrible place to go to school. They say they’ll “support you” but what they really mean is to exit/kick you out. Don’t bother asking for help for any type of situation they’ll just find an excuse to exit you, they don’t help in any way they just make things so much worse. They kicked me out when I was always on time, always did my work, didn’t Wag and handed in medical certificates when I was away. However they can keep the bullies who skip class, don’t do their work, argue with the teachers, and sexually assault people. It’s an unfair school that’s trying to turn into a private school. Just warning if you want your children's school photo taken don’t let them dye their hair. They will not let them get their photo taken unless they dye it to a “natural colour”. Acting like they pay for the photos when it’s the parents. How ridiculous. The teachers will bully, belittled, and target you for years if you do something they don’t like. It’s very few teachers who aren’t like that and those teachers are the only ones who do have respect for themselves and others.

Terrible school needs to be shut down

I learnt nothing here because when I would ask a teacher for help they would always tell me to watch a YouTube video, but it was harder for me and alot of other students because I'm a face to face learner or hands on learner and not all teachers knew how to help students like this, they had one way of teaching for everyone and I don't think that's fair. The indoor environment of the classrooms was just genuinely because the one new building that was built with nice new classrooms no one ever had classes in there, in the old buildings they have tables and chairs that are ruined or completely unusable. I also don't appreciate that I always got yelled at in this one class for the teacher accusing of being on my phone although I never took it out of my pocket. The reason my phone was always in my pocket is due to the school not being able to guarantee the saftey of my phone and other belongings in the lockers, and not only that but also they would not let us put our own locks on or locker it had to one of there combination locks. The teachers told us that if they see a lock from home on our lockers they will cut it off. I also dont believe that should have been said especially as they wouldn't have given the money to replace the lock. I also don't find it appropriate that a teacher would call my parents from his personal contact number. The teacher was talking to my parents telling them the I have bad friends and that I'm a bad influence on others, and I know that I'm not the only person this teacher had done this too as my friends had told me the teacher had said the same thing to there parents and they were getting in lots of trouble at home because of this teachers phone calls. Another thing bullying is a big issue. I'll start by talking about the teachers bullying me, so my heath education and sport teacher would always bully my friend and I because of the way we looked. For example in a health class we were watching a video of all girls playing footy, (keep in mind that my friend and I were the only two 'bigger' girls in his class) so we were watching that video and they were talking about requirements to make the team things like that, but a comment came from the teacher saying "all the women in the footy team have a one size fits all uniform" the teacher looked at my friend and I in front of the whole class and said " I know to girls in this class that wouldn't be able to fit in to that uniform". Another thing this teacher had also said to my friend and I we were doing the full school run but we both had medical reasons why we couldn't run and even provided a note, but the teacher did not agree with that and than said we had to complete the full school run anyways, the teacher said we could walk so that is what we did we were nearly the last back and when everyone was back this teacher decided to sir us all down in the gym and pointed out my friend and I in front of the whole class and the teacher said " when we do the full school run I expect you to run , we are not walking or dawdling these two girls have made us waste the rest of our sports lesson" I don't find either of these examples appropriate for anyone to say let alone your teacher. As for students bullying me I was bullied every single day , I'll give an example so hopefully this changes in the future, in year 7 and 8 two girls would bully me everyday they would push me into my locker or into someone, I had a lock thrown at me I had my phone smashed, I was filmed, I was getting spam calls from the bullies and these are just a few little examples, I thsn went to speak to a coordinator about this and they told me I need to go back to class and they will sort it out later, they did nothing. The bullying got so bad the ended up attacking me outside of school, so I went to the police and and made a police report but that did nothing either. I had a coordinator say to me " I'm not gonna believe you, I know you are lying , you are the bully not them" when I tell you I had no words because all I could do is cry is sad I ended up missing a month of school because I just couldn't go if I knew they were going to be there ready to bash me and the teachers coordinators and principals did nothing. The only way this stopped was that they left school , that was no thanks to any of the staff, because no one let me have a say of my side of the story they just didn't believe me, I don't find that very fair.
