"BAD SCHOOL!!! DO NOT GO THERE."

The behaviour of the school is terrible

Left and right you hear swear words.

Also there are so many fights that happen in the school.

So many bullies too.

I dont recommend this school your kid will learn lots of bad stuff from there.

"Horrible school "

Was horrible when they mixed the boys and girls in year 10 as some of my old friends had changed completely and hated me and when I told someone about it they just ignored it. Horrible school
