Karabar high is run by demons.
Hello to everyone reading this, I just want you to know that you should never send your kids to karabar high school, an autistic kid almost died from bully and they did not even suspend him or expell him for attempt of murder, this school have the highest suicide rate, the teachers don't even care about your kids and they will suspend kids who protect themselves from bullies just like any school. I want all people to stop getting their kids in this school and spread the word to prevent innocent...

Terrible place and people
Students who disrupt and even commit serious crimes such as assault and arson are given a warning. Students assaulted by others who then defend themselves are punished with suspension and exclusion from activities i.e. camps. Year 12 this year were to go on an excursion to Jamberoo Waterpark. The school forgot to order a bus. For failing their jobs, the administration suffered no consequences. No-one was fired or even warned. The principal is simply a joke, she tells crying students to return to...

Not a good school
The principal doesn’t do anything in regards to consequences for the people misbehaving. We had 2 lockdowns on 2 consecutive days because of students misbehaving, one throwing rocks at windows and other throwing rocks at someone/someone’s house and which escalated into them pulling out a crossbow and threatening to shoot them. We have had so many false lockdowns that when these 2 happened none of us took it seriously. My class was talking and laughing at a normal volume because we 1. Didn’t know...

Could be better
Karabar high school is good but with the teachers, it's just terrible! All the school cares about is the uniform and violence... if someone punches another student that student that got punched will probably get suspended just for getting punched. Let's be honest here I hope this school gets better and gets better teachers otherwise there is no point to this high school. If you can afford private school, choose that but if you can't and choose to send your child to KHS, don't be surprised if yo...

Pretty good, could be better
The school has a few flaws within the learning, however it is much better than any catholic school i have been to. the people i have met are very inclusive and the material in the selective classes are perfect for my learning.

Unsupportive learning environment
Karabar High school is a mediocre school which is biased and unsupportive. The school focuses on the looks and perceptions rather than academic. For example the school prides on wearing school uniform rather than supporting students within the classroom. The school has an extremely high teacher turnover rate including the year 12 physics class needing to go to distance education due to no teachers, and many classes needing to merge including the year 12 SLR class merging with the year 12 CAFS class during the last term. The school prides itself on performing arts and does not focus on academic achievements including university acceptances and ATAR achievements. Due to the new schools in the region Karabar has lost an even higher rate of teachers as they move to the newer schools in the region as well as the high amount of students moving to ACT college’s to seek a more supportive learning environment. Students have also been constantly reminded how they are “the worst students ever” during cohort meetings.
