    Horrible feminists school

    Most teachers here dont like boys and are treated with such toxic behaviours from most staff here, staff are generally just horrible to deal with RUDE DONT LISTEN everytime I call up its a absolute rude woman talking. If you dont like your job leave. Teachers stand out the front of boys toilet cubicles waiting for them before they get a chance to wash hands, this has happened many times and I find this sick and twisted. This school is run by sad miserable feminists that have no joy in their lif...

    Seriously.

    This school is terrible. They only care about how we look in the uniform, they don’t care about kids getting bullied, they don’t care about kids being racist, they don’t care about our mental health, half the teachers can’t even teach, and they can’t even control classes. The amount of times I’ve been pulled up for having dyed hair, more than two ear piercings, having my pants rolled up (my pants are too big and they don’t make them in smaller sizes), having nail polish, wearing socks with a bra...

    This school cares more about what students wear then their educations.

    This school is horrible. All the staff care about it uniform and what students wear. Socks, jewellery, formal, hair. Everything. It’s horrible how the staff care more about what students wear than their actual education. Staff should be grateful that the students even show up to school. With no students, they wouldn’t have a job. They make such a massive fuss about wearing bracelets, certain earrings, shoes and the colour of them, necklaces ect. Stop making such a big fuss over little things. Le...

    Time for a step-up

    Treatment at the school is poor, they let troubled kids get away with things by not giving them a proper punishment, there is no help whatsoever to prevent fights. They just expect the people there to stop, or by sticking posters on walls thinking it'll make a change. I'm not saying it's very horrific, but I myself have wanted to move schools so many times because of the horrible kids there. Not all are bad, just mainly the well known ones who are willing to do anything to look cool in front of their peers. I wish the school would just take an understanding that our mental health is draining, all becauses of their bad education and lack of care. Their ways of "preventing" fights are bad and in my opinion lazy. This school needs a step up, and they need it now. The number of people that will be rude, judge people, spread rumours, even cause fights because they are so problematic is insanely high. There are more bad kids than good. Mackay North State High School, if you want your kids to enjoy school, to be happy, and not be upset every time Mondays come around, then step up and do something, instead of just sitting there.

    Mackay North state high

    As a student that was there from grade 7 to 12, the bullying is horrendous, and there really isn't much support for it. Yes the school has great opportunities, programs, but if support isn't there, and if students don't feel safe getting support its not a good environment. Most of ther teachers are amazing and would do anything for their students, there are some that make everything so difficult.

    Its okay.

    Mackay north state has lots of different opportunities for kids whom want to Excell in places like music sport and academics. But this school has an issue with fighting and that to put it lightly. I hope in future years these problems will be solve.
