    Very dangerous place for young teachers violent pupils.

    This school is probably one of the worst schools in the Brisbane area a young teacher had a chair thrown at him and was nearly stabbed by a young girl trying to teach. It took the school 20 minutes to respond for help which put him in a very dangerous situation. When a teacher finally came up his comment was perhaps teaching is not for you what a stupid statement. This has put this teacher off teaching which is pretty sad considering teacher are leaving the in large numbers. I hope this preven...

    it’s awful

    this school is awful i sent my child there early this year and so far the school has locked every toilet which i can understand since kids do bad things in them but they have one singular toilet open in the library which you must line up for , also they are extremely strict on uniforms which i also understand but during winter and it’s freezing they force kids to take off the non school jumpers mind you these jumpers are expensive, they are very bad at communicating with parents my child got a...

    It’s not very inclusive even tho they say they are

    School activities are only for those willing to pay lots of money. No activities other than competitive ones. Always found this annoying. Most of the teachers are good but a lot are not considerate or flexible towards students personal needs. Communication isn’t the greatest.

    Lots of discrimination at this school

    Horrible no help for students with disabilities. They do nothing about bullying. Some teachers where good but others I got no help from and wouldn't even Acknowledge my disability.

    Uniform

    It’s a good school and all but the uniform policy is way too far. We’re public not private

    A brief overview of murrumba

    The students at the school are greatly affected by the Kallangur and murrumba area so most of the students come from broken homes making many of the students nehave terribly staff don’t have enough power to control them. There is poop smeared all over the boys toilets almost every day. There is trash all over the ground. The school has some amazing curriculum if you are smart enough for it if not there’s no point going here. The school has great facilities but they are constantly dirty and broken throughout the day by bad students. The school has very little excursions outside of school and barley gets any incursions anymore. The school has some amazing staff and some absolutely terrible staff there are some really intelligent and useful teachers here tho. Admin is slow and makes many mistakes. You aren’t allowed to leave class without a pass. And there’s a new class arrangement that puts grade 12 classes next to grade 7 classes so good luck studying for your qcaa without constant screams of children in ur ears. If the school ever loses a staff member don’t expect ur child to pass that class cause they won’t have a replacement teacher for months and the replacement won’t know what the hell they are doing. School is rampant in vape dealing vape, usage, and fights. The school has lots of resources for the arts and other applied subjects. The schools uniform looks goofy and the senior uniforms are uncomfortable for both men and women. No compromise is made on uniform but they will compromise with you if you are bulling people. If you are gay or a minority just don’t go here the relentless bulling you will endure is terrible no one will help. One of the best things about the school is the src which helps plan some of the actually fun activities the school has like valentines stalls and cinco demarro celebrations. None of the admin staff will treat you with respect they will not reason with you and they will treat you like shit untill you conform to what they want unless you are someone who causes fights or deals vapes cause then they’ll be your friend. The school was great untill covid hit after COVID the school hasn’t been able to get its bearings and is falling apart at the seams.

    Worst school I’ve been to. Overpriced and churns out awful people

    -1 star I got sexually assaulted in class and the teacher did nothing. I’ve been harassed and bullied the whole way through and the teachers turn a blind eye to blatant physical abuse in relationships. Kids vape in the toilets and the teachers don’t give a fuck and they care more about you not wearing the uniform properly than your health and safety. Also student councillors are biased and pick sides with kids they like (literally got told to not report someone threatening me with something serious cause it could ruin is life <3.) Oh and they don’t take students seriously. I got laughed at for an incident report and they did nothing, also class changes are very annoying and either never go through cause they’re too lazy or they just “forget”. Don’t send your kids here if you want them to be better people cause they’re either coming home upset or a dickhead cause all the other kids are dickheads. The uniform is also disgustingly overpriced and requires you to buy their $60 bag and socks, you also get barely any freedom regarding your appearance cause they value “respect” so much but apparently that only applies to physical appearance and not attitudes.

    only go if ur white & obedient.

    absolutely horrible. racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism run rampant in the hallways, whether it was a teacher or student, you never knew if you were going to be discriminated against by either. i had called out a now retired teacher for racially profiling my brown friend when the teacher had asked one of the members of the class to help deliver a debit card that one of her students from another class had dropped. my friend sweetly volunteered to deliver the card as he was also friends with t...
