Katoomba high school is not safe for teenagers
As a old student of katoomba high school I know of many things that the school has tried to hide such as a teacher throwing a chair at some students, and teacher inappropriately touching young female students and another teacher who got caught jacking off in class. A female hise teacher stopped a student from leaving the room even though the student was going to pass out. The deputy principal complained about having to call a ambulance for a student who had a seizure because it was the last peri...

Its definitely a school.
katoomba high is certainly not the worst school in the blue mountains but it could easily be improved. they care more about locking the bathrooms at breaks than they do racism or SA.

Horrible, unsafe and unprofessional
So many sexual assault and abuse cases at this school involving staff and the students. Very uncomfortable and concerning how the principal tries to brush this stuff under the rug. Staff would rather focus on stopping kids vaping than preventing them from being abused. I attended this school years ago, during my time there I tried to explain to staff how I was struggling with abuse at home and needed extra help, all I got was a one time referral to see the school therapist and then they just gave up on me. I felt like none of them cared, I tried my best but I eventually gave up on myself and dropped out of school. The staff are only nice and helpful towards to the high achieving students that come from happy homes. They don’t care about struggling kids coming from disadvantaged families.

We're not rich with money, we're rich with community.
Honestly better than Blue Mountains Grammar

Khs made me want to kms
every second of my existence in this place made me want to jump off the stairs but clearly they know how awful this school is because they already had suicide nets in place.
