Rossmoyne Senior High School

Old, falling apart classrooms. Teachers are under-qualified and stoic. Teachers do not care about student's wellbeing, teachers enforce rules and obedience only for certain students. Some of the programs are not terrible, however, my concerns for teachers rise increasingly each year. One of the science teachers taught my child how to sign 'f____g a__hole' in Australian sign language. This is also the same teacher who, quote on quote stated that 'I am not racist if I hate you all equally', and 'she is mentally re___rded." another teacher disregarded my child's scoliosis and other medical conditions, forcing her to do an activity despite having a medical note handed to her. And my child's inability to do so due to her condition, she was called 'lazy' and 'privileged'.

I've been at the school since year seven and it's definitely had it's ups and downs. Rossy does offer a pretty helpful transition program for the new year sevens at the start of every year, which helps students adjust to what they can expect over the year. Overall, it was boring for me personally, but I know it definitely helped some of my mates out. The school also offers a lot of clubs and after school programs. Me, personally, I am part of the Bushrangers program, and it is the highlight of my experience here. It's a great, supportive environment where we can all let loose, be ourselves, and care for our nature. We have a homeroom system, which can be helpful to get advice from older students, as our homerooms have students of all year levels, who don't change, so we have consistent homeroom, where we can create strong bonds with each other. The GAT program here is what I'd expect it to be, nothing special. Though, we get many opportunities for cool activities like excursions, incursions, competitions and even exchange programs. Teachers are nice, majority of the time, but there are some teachers who are extremely strict and don't treat us students with much respect . I remember an instance where a teacher called my best friend a "brownie," as he was dark skinned... Rather disappointing to see that the school has hired racists like these. The canteen is a basic one, though the prices are quite high, for a really basic quality of food. Our other classes are all interesting and engaging, though honestly, it all comes down to the teachers. Thanks for reading my review, hope to see you here I guess.. Stay blessed out there ??
