| This place is absolutely amazing. I’m in year 5 and I have so many close friends. The thing is, ever since I was in year 2, we got to write 3 friends that we want to be with in a class next year but this year it changed. My teacher was nice enough to let us write a whole persuasive essay for us to maybe be put with that one person. I’m insecure and I really need friends to back me up and support me. It’s the Christmas holidays but I can’t take my mind of school. I’m hoping I get put with my friends. Some of the teachers don’t teach well. Mr Walker and Mrs Argent are very judgmental. I don’t have a big voice for roll call and Mr Walker was my Friday sport teacher. “Oh dear, we’re in stage 3 and we don’t know how to use a big voice,” that’s what Mr Walker said but my friends all really like him but he gives different treatments to students. Mrs Rosas is one of the worst teachers. Height just above a garden gnome and thinks you are bad just cause you got put with your enemy for a partner project and she wants to make you fail. Mrs Howard is the worst teacher, along with Mrs Rosas. I’m so glad Mrs Howard is leaving. She is so cruel! Overall this place is fabulous but there are some stupid and annoying kids. On the other hand, it helped me make so much close and reliable friends. I have been going here since kindy and I loved it but this year is when i made so much friends. By far, the best year. In year 4 and all the way up, each year there’s a camp. In year 5 there’s also a day where you get to go to Umina beach for Surf Lifesaving. You go in pairs and jump into waves. There are multiple, experienced lifeguards but the timing is strict. Bathroom full of people but since I have such good friends, they covered me with their towel so nobody could see while i changed. This school is excellent but please get rid of those teachers and let us choose 3 people we want to be with next year. |

| My child has been bully and tried to say stop to other students but the other students are not telling the truth to teacher. Teachers are incapable to find out the root cause but punishment my child. Some teachers are very inexperienced on teaching but good at punishing victims. I am seeking to transfer my child out of this school because they just don't qualify to teach and some students are very rough. The school environment is very dirty. Birds poo is everywhere in the area where kids gather in the morning but no one clean it. Now I realize what is different between public school and private school. |

Opportunity class grants you some very ‘interesting’ privileges, they include getting shouted at by teachers and the expectation of performing better than normal kids. The school building, is expensive, but personally I don’t think it looks very good. The mainstream students are pretty bad, but a vast majority of them are fine, the exceptions being those who think they’re really popular and go around flipping their hair.
In conclusion, the school isn’t that great, if you want to to go this school, I recommend attending opportunity class instead of normal class as normal classes have questionable teachers. |

| People only come here because of the oc class, but if you are someone who wants to come here for it pls do not. This school does not teach your child any more extra information than mainstream classes and the overpopulation crisis is just too overwhelming. |

| The downfall of this school is the mainstreamers and the school’s poor lack of management with their finance. |

| I have been at this school for 7 years and I have enjoyed it. From the first day I began without English Waitara have helped me a lot. They have tons of extra curricular activities and participate in many fun and academic competitors. The only downfall is the O.C classes as they tend to be quite arrgavating but otherwise everything else is fine. teachers and the whole community are loving . |
