Oaklands School

"The principal promised that there was going to be an ESOL teacher to help kids with limited English, but there was none due to funding issues after enrolled. Because of this, our kid's English wasn't improving, and some Chinese kids bullied our kid because of her Taiwanese nationality. We were thankful some kids stood out for her, even though the teacher just let the bully happen. Will never send kids there."

"THIS SCHOOL IS LIKE LIVING A HORROR,AND TOO MANY KARENS,DONT GO THIS SCHOOL,ITS BASICALLY PRISON"

"To much Karen's Mrs trotter is not the best heaps of old people it freaks you out DO NOT JOIN"

"found a big long thing stuck to the wall it was sticky and had white stuff on it it was in the bathroom and there was a teacher in there before and there was a wig on the ground"

"Poorest school I have ever seen and I grew up in Porirua East (Google “Porirua East 1980’s” for an educational session on gang related crime, extremely low decile schools and a very poor socio-economic environment!) Not talking about Poor in a financial sense! Culture, social skills and attitude all receive an “F”! Both of my sons were removed from this school due to bullying. As both of my sons were the biggest in their classes, we believe a blasé approach to our concerns were taken, as this school primarily focused on bullying that could be witnessed and not bullying that could be hidden. Final straw for me was when school decided not to act after both of my sons lives were threatened by a group of other students. Highly recommended against!!!"
