## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — SA coverups: Parklands and a certain member of staff actually involved themselves in SA cases which led to the perpetrator getting away with it, the victim was assaulted in school… no wonder a certain member of staff wanted to cover that up (cough cough what does the FOX say). This certain member of staff also publicly humiliated this student and discriminated against them. This has been a problem at this high school for years, and it’s all just been swept under the rug! *(Jun 2025)*
- **1/5** — Very bad! 😡: Really bad school, they let people run around on all fours pretending to be dogs and these people genuinely think that they are dogs!! People get isolation for wearing a piercing (earrings)! The chicken in the wraps are pink and students are just expected to eat it and the food is very overpriced for what it is! Teachers are not equipped for lessons and they give 1’s and 2’s for absolutely no reason! When you tell any teachers about a problem they don’t do anything and teachers just let people g… *(Oct 2024)*
- **1/5** — Do better: Doesn’t do anything abou bulling *(Jul 2023)*
- **1/5** — Very very poor school experience: School promotes no creativity in writing or artwork. Teachers constantly contradict themselves and are very hypocritical. School is also no safe place for lgbt students, teachers can not be trusted with information and will not hesitate to share any private information about students with anyone. *(Sep 2021)*
- **5/5** — good school: pretty good school. very good music department *(Dec 2020)*
- **1/5** — Terrible school: Terrible school. Told the school counsellor I wanted to unalive myself and he told me it was all my fault (the whole time I was getting physically hurt/beat up and emotionally abused). My mental health wouldn’t be as bad as it is now if they actually helped. In year 11 I started having panic attacks and they sat me down in a room on my own letting me overthink - these teachers was not trained to deal with these things whatsoever. Oh I wanted to drop a subject (design tech) as it had no use in my… *(Dec 2020)*
- **1/5** — Awful school: Terrible school. Told the school counsellor I wanted to kill myself and he told me it was all my fault (the whole time I was getting physically beat up and emotionally abused). Terrible school, my mental health wouldn’t be as bad as it is now if they actually helped. In year 11 I started having panic attacks and they sat me down in a room all alone letting me overthink and letting the panic attack worse. This school is terrible if you have mental health issues. *(Dec 2020)*
- **2/5** — Not very good: Not the best. The teachers only care about popular kids *(Sep 2020)*
- **2/5** — Crap tbh: Load o’ shite. Hated my time here. *(Aug 2020)*
