## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Traumatic: This school is only good if you GENUINELY hate your kids. For staters they care so little about students health that they removed the nurses office to make room for more isolation rooms where they send children with various issues to sit in silence or be shouted at for the whole day. 99% of these kids were kids who absolutely had undiagnosed issues or were straight up traumatised. I know this because I still know some of these people now and I was one of those kids myself. Teachers bully student… *(Jun 2024)*
- **1/5** — Horrific school: This school is awful. As a former student I look back at the trauma and abuse I faced at this school. At best some of the teachers are incompetent and generally just bad at their job. At worst many teachers are aggressive, mean and hostile. During my time at this school I dealt with sexual insults from one teacher annd aggressive shaming from another teacher. I could go on. Do not send your child here. *(May 2023)*
- **1/5** — Awful: Horrific school. It's a genuine shock that there aren't any suicides that come out of this school given the torment it's students are out through. From being unable to handle children, teachers that make students cry for fun, corruption among staff and a nurses office replaced with even more isolation rooms Emlyn has it all. If you want to psychologically scar your child this is the school for you. *(Oct 2022)*
- **3/5** — Average school to be fair.: It's a good school but at times students can be difficult to tolerate for other students trying to get along with work. Some good and ok teachers and students but overall an average school *(Oct 2022)*
- **4/5** — Good: Very good excellent environment *(Nov 2020)*
