- **1/5** — Disgusting school: This school is one of the most disappointing and frustrating institutions I have ever come across. The way it operates raises serious concerns about its integrity, professionalism, and duty of care.

- **1/5** — Worst school ever: I’m not happy with this school at all with how they contact parents. I was told my brother has a 15 min detention through the messages but he was kept for 1hour. This happened on many occasions where they didn’t send the right information. After school when my brother didn’t get home after 15 mins I got worried and started phoning school to see where he is.
