Always offering then suddenly there not available

15% chance of graduating at this school

The principal is by far the worst she fraternised with staff, pushes children out of education from an extremely young age, I live next door to a teacher of the school who after she tried it on my son said she is trying to get rid of all the year 10’s and 11’s pushing them into full time jobs traineeships and apprenterships even children that want to go to university or graduate she tried to encourage my son to be a barber at age 15 wanted to speak in person about her offer yet through email denied and shut down my response because she didn’t want it in writing, most parents would highly agree that this is happening around age 14-17 she’s created a pool of children that are so desperate to complete there education but are being pushed out of the system, most parents get the same offer but then are left trying to source there own trainee ship, when that isn’t successfull they have missed chunks of there education and become so disengaged, the more the children keep trying then petty suspensions take homes restricted play toileting breaks start happening, teachers have been physically abusive towards children and continue to work under her employment, from my understanding she knows someone close to the education department, complaints to the education department, never get anywhere multiple family’s I no have lodged complaint all similar situation and nothing happens she is illegally using restricted practices and children are suffering by loosing chunks of there education to they give up because there to vulnerable to fight back parents give up because the system has and is always failing them air conditioning has been broken for 4 years if not more ms swelf do better !

Paralowie High School R-12

Paralowie R-12 High School

Worst school ever because toilets are extremely bad because the toilet seats always have piss on it rarely even cleaned and they say after recces and lunch toilets are locked and cleaned for 30 minutes and still have piss on it and poo stains on it. Dont get me started on the teachers they do not care about you if your 5 minutes late to lesson you have a 15min detention. Toilets near well being at recces and lunch are always packed used to vape and smoke inside the toilet and theirs nobody stopping them. I DONT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL SO MUCH BETTER OPTIONS.

Paralowie needs to be shut down no new staff can fix it

Children with disabilities are constantly triggered then suspended my child new 1 sound in year 1 till I moved him schools

My teen was constantly encouraged to leave school by age 14 and many others by year 10 the principal encourages it but will deny it via email which is when I realised she was being shady my neighbours works at the school recorded her encouraging numerous kids to leave by year 10 with an expectation but required 35 hours work if you don’t agree your child is bullied till you reconsider no sports teams unless your year 9 you’d be lucky if you left there on anything more them minimum income
It’s also part of the redress scheme !

Worst pbl leaders
Bad behaviour programs
No support
Teachers are bully’s
CCTV only works when they want you in trouble otherwise they conveniently lie when you say well let’s look at the footage and almost always claim there are witnesses to more lies I feel trapped at this school with no way out entangled in there lies
No air conditioning for over a year
This school is a disaster the last 2 principles are a joke woman shouldn’t be running a school and I’m a woman

THIS SCHOOL IS A HELLHOLE!!

This school has such crappy laptops! Half of the time the laptops have slow internet, something wrong with them, working properly or apps that do not work. I know two people who had their laptop screens coming off! My teacher for Math doesn't even explain topics properly he'll explain and and write on the whiteboard but he'll write the start of the problem to show how to solve it but in the blink of an eye he'll show the answer but only write how to solve half of the stuff! Teachers will give the students sheets on Word on how to do an assignment and what they need but kids like me who have autism can barely do work and understand because we need more detailed instructions! The girls' bathroom doesn't even have soap! I mean do you WANT us to have wet dirty hands?! The bathroom has three usable toilets and one toilet which is always locked because it's for staff but there are three staff toilets near the student toilets they could use! There have been multiple fights I've heard of happening. They make random constructions instead of buying better things to help this school! They always raise the prices of the food and drinks in the canteen and the water in the drinking fountains/taps tastes so warm and weird what if a kid forgot to pack lunch and needs food but doesn't have any money or what if a kid's bottle is empty and they need to refill it?! Their uniform policy is so STUPID, it's meant to be a school top and navy blue bottoms but half of the students here are either wearing black bottoms or not even remotely close bottoms! And a navy blue uniform with a navy blue bottom is such a crappy and disgusting combination! Worst school ever!

School is beyond repair.

WORST school I've ever attended, the amount of bullying is disgusting, no one deals with it, drug use during class, fights every day, neglectful teachers, getting warnings and refusal when asking to use the bathroom, and teachers abusing students, nothing about this school is good.

Depending on what teachers are teaching they know what they are doing, however some dont. the students need improvements on behaviour. Happy to leave this school any time soon

TRASH!

This school treats their students poorly, most teachers can’t even teach the subject they are teaching and have had to learn on my own, many fights at this school and the bathrooms are absolutely disgusting. The only good things are the volleyball and the canteen food is amazing

Paralowie School review and it is bad ad

so much bullying, fights, vaping, toilet breaking, had a few teacher and student altercations. not all bad though there are a few fun activities but they aren't always open to everyone. I recommend not sending your children here.
