The principal of this institution has displayed an alarming lack of leadership skills and has proven to be the most inadequate individual in this position that I have ever encountered. Her behaviour exhibits a clear pattern of narcissism and self-entitlement, which ultimately detrimentally affects the entire school community.
One of the most concerning aspects of her leadership is the propagation of radical feminism through her indoctrination of the students. While promoting equality and fighting against discrimination may be admirable objectives, it is disheartening to witness the principal berating students for their choice of earrings. This contradictory behavior not only undermines her own message but also creates a hostile and oppressive environment where personal expression is stifled.
Furthermore, the principal's mismanagement of financial resources raises serious concerns. Despite defunding the college and exacerbating the already overpriced canteen, there seems to be a significant lack of funding allocated to essential facilities such as the half-broken bathrooms. It almost appears as though the principal's priorities lie elsewhere, as evidenced by her pet dog, which appears overweight, leading to unfounded speculations that it may have consumed the funds intended for bathroom repairs.
In addition to the financial mismanagement, the assemblies conducted under her leadership have become dreadfully tedious and devoid of any meaningful purpose. The insistence on singing the overly long and repetitive "college song" on a weekly basis only serves to further underscore the cult-like atmosphere that has enveloped the institution. It is disconcerting to witness such a repetitive ritual that lacks any educational or inspirational value. One is left to question whether this is a school or a communist regime, where blind conformity takes precedence over critical thinking and individuality.
In conclusion, the principal's performance and conduct in this institution have been highly disappointing and concerning. Her narcissistic tendencies, propagation of radical feminism, financial mismanagement, and creation of a cult-like atmosphere not only hinder the growth and development of the students but also undermine the core principles of education and personal freedom. Urgent measures need to be taken to address these issues and restore a positive and conducive learning environment for the sake of the students and the institution as a whole.

This schools lacks from the range of teachers to students, teachers are rude. They took it to the point where my parents got sent an email where the teacher was saying things i've never done, another place where this was shown is during parent teacher meetings. One of my current teachers was telling my mum lies. In this school it's not about what you know it about who you know, without have a close connection with someone you'll be at the bottom sitting with the kids no one likes, being an easy target for bullying.

I think this school has many pros in the actual learning itself, although, many students there are concerning as some of them seem to care a lot about looks or culture. I get discriminated quite a lot because of the way I act. In my class, we were talking about discrimination. One of my classmates said, “I always judge a book by its cover” her friend agreed with her too. Like who on Earth even says that in the middle of class though- I also remember one of the students threatening to put me on a hospital bed. That worried me. Apart from that, SOME students are nice, it’s very rare to find a good friend these days. In my opinion, some teachers are really kind! They helped me with some social problems. I really liked that they actually cared about the students (most of the teachers) Although, I’m not sure if they are faking it or not, hopefully not. Overall, I think the school is probably a good school, just maybe your child may have to build up some confidence in talking, because it’s quite loud. That’s one thing I despise. Like students in my class are extremely noisy. One more thing
