    DO NOT SEND UR CHILDEREN HERE.

    I do not go to this school, but i do have a girlfriend who does and i seriously recommend to NOT SEND UR CHILDEREN HERE. They care more about if ur being the school's uniform correct socks and reputation then ur own wellbeing of ur child. My girlfriend not only gets bullied by the worst pieces of human existence we have ever seen. She is also on the verge of hurting herself because of this shitty school and everything they have done. Also this school is extremely homophobic, racist and very...

    Scared

    A little girl had come into my workplace this morning and we asked her about school ( I go there) and she was a grade 7 and she was telling me and my coworker about how there are so many fights in one day and that one of her friend had to move towns because she was scared of getting bashed because a group of seniors jumped a junior boy in grade 7 it’s ridiculous

    This school doesn’t take awareness!!!!

    Yesterday at school there was a bunch of girls confronting a guy who was touching up girls without any consent and the girls have said that it made them really uncomfortable the girls have stood up and then one of the girls got suspended and the guy didn’t the guy no punishment whatsoever. A bunch of girls reported what he was doing and half of these girls aren’t even friends. This school is the absolute worse. It was reported to the teachers and they did nothing about it.

    Change your ways

    This school and there system needs to be fixed!! Toilets get locked because girls are eating in them? The uniform policy and how you can’t go into the tuckshop unless you go to uniform detention that’s stupid. They have high and stupid expectations like how when you turn 16 they decide if you get kicked out or not ? I thought everyone had the right to get a education oh and how the seniors get a week of hods if we use the junior toilets but when the juniors use ours they don’t get no punishment?...

    Hervey Bay high stinks

    the school is honestly the worst they care more about uniform then anything else they suspend students for no reason the teachers blame the kids for their own mistakes the uniform is uncomfortable they don’t let you buy food unless you’ve been to uniform detention which goes for at least half the break the teachers are rude and obnoxious the kids there are the worst my sister and her friends got food thrown at them and the teachers did nothing about it they defend the bullies and blame the victims there’s multiple fights everyday it’s more like a jail then an actual school they stopped a child from going to their formal for not having natural coloured hair the teachers don’t give two fucks about your mental health everything is so expensive the school fees are 205$ a year and you still have to pay to do some subjects and go on excursions they exclude you from going on incentive day, formal and graduation if school fees aren’t paid or if your not on the right level the students are little ferals you can’t even go take a piss without 30 people in the bathroom vaping the school claims to be against bullying but they don’t do shit about it I’ve been asking my parents to move me from there since year 7 it honestly drains you I don’t even want to school half the time. don’t send your kid there it will ruin them.

    Lots of Funding but not a lot of Action

    This school receives the most funding out of all the public schools in the region, so you would expect that the teachers are getting paid enough to care about their students. Don’t get me wrong, not all the teachers are careless, but you can’t overlook some of the pure evil movie villains that work there. My daughter comes home borderline suicidal because of her business teacher. She’s been overworked, overlooked and overwhelmed during her classes with that said teacher. I’m unable to name the witch that teaches that class due to this platform’s regulations but I can assure you; simply by the first interaction I had with her over the phone, that she is a certified Karen. Additionally, I heard quite frankly horror stories regarding the toilet situation in this establishment. They may as well be remanded into gas chambers because of all the vapers who practically run the area. Simply disgusting. For a school that has upheld the reputation of being the most strict in the bay, they sure do have a soft spot for vaping kids. Simply unacceptable.

    The worst school I've ever been to

    For a school that claims to take bullying very seriously they really don't. The work is overwhelming especially in year 11 and honestly one of the strictest schools I've been to out of like 4 different high schools (my family moves a lot) the majority of students are extremely racist, homophobic and just down right rude.there are fights almost every day and all people do is record them and crowd around instead of doing anything. I've had teachers bully me and target me, be sexist and defend men...

    No support

    They say teachers are there for support, but not one teacher has supported me. They care more about what you look like and what you wear rather than the education.
