Mickleham Primary School

Due to the lack of space and outside play areas for children, there is an unfortunate culture of bullying. There are too many children at the school for the outside play areas, which do not include any play grounds. Children who are unable to healthily use up all of their energy then become incredibly disruptive in the classrooms, and the school often has to lock classroom doors for their students safety from other students. The bullying starts at the top, in the office! Parents are unable to be apart of the school community unless it’s manual labour. They have no say in anything anymore. Many factors contribute to this. It is an incredibly toxic and unhealthy environment for students, teachers and parents alike. Maybe once the construction is eventually completed it may improve, although with the biggest bullies being in the school leadership it’s highly unlikely that there will ever be any improvements at this school!
