I'm a current student at Hamilton Secondary College and much like others, I think this school could do better. I've heard from others at the school that they put in multiple bullying complaints to rarely even be heard and when they are, the school never chats with the bullies to tell them to stop. Also, while the principal was in a meeting with my parents, I overheard the principal say, and I quote "Autism is a disease" to my parents. I agree with what people have been saying about the school caring less about the students and more about the teachers. And when I was in one of the school's extracurriculars (Dance Club), I let the teacher behind it know that I wasn't coming in that week because I was injured but she forced me to come to it because performance was next week. This school is horrible in many ways and I want people to know about what I experienced there.
A review from a current student at Hamilton Secondary College
As a current student at Hamilton secondary college, I have never been more displeased with the leadership of a place of learning. The school has time and time again shown that they do not care of the students that attend the school and rather only care about the image that the school has. As a somewhat successful student at this school, I am used by the leadership as a tool to boost scores and do the subjects that is best for them. An example of this is me wanting to swap out of a specific science subject. Instead of allowing me to do so, the leadership at this school delayed and stalled this swapping process for 2 weeks which pushed the swap past the deadline and did not allow me to swap the subject. Several of cases of things like this have happened of me having to fight for what I want to learn and what I want in my future.
I highly suggest against this school.
I am a student at Hamilton secondary collage and I can confirm that it is the most awful school I have ever heard of I really do consider you to not go here because it is really bad. The teachers and staff members could care less about your mental health and are just very rude and arrogant. Our principal is probably the worst she is very very rude and judgmental and does not tell you any feedback and just says judgmental things. If you really care about your kids and your child’s mental health I strongly suggest you do NOT send them to Hamilton secondary college, Adelaide, South Australia
School goes through students bag without permission, priniciple doesn't care about students well being, students are suspended for idiotic reasons without letting students explain, overall shit school
