"Haha, my cousin thinks this a mid school, bcuz she go here but I will you some constructive criticism atrocious behaviour, bad people, decent studying and everything don worry school is actually decent."

"Don't even think about enrolling to this school if you are out of the area, your application will simply be rejected. I put this school as a first preference and included all the merit details, however was rejected for the reason my daughter was out of area. The next school choices were blunt about not using them as the first preference and my daughter lost her chances of going to any good schools now. This has now driven me to go a worthless local school"

"When I was first at the school, it was filled with incompetent teachers and stupid kids, yet still liked to imagine itself as a 'prestigious' school. Then over time, it somehow got worse. The same teachers were there but the kids went from stupid (which I oddly liked because they did some really funny stuff) to attention-seeking snowflakes who thought they were smarter than they were. But still two stars because I did have some good memories but overall a bad experience."

"I go there for school and believe me when I say it has the best studies and teacher there. Everyone is so kind to each other. And it has a lots of stairs to climb and it is on a hill which makes it harder to walk."
